Re: SSD Drives - Impossible to Reliably Erase?

Agree to the FUD. Like not trusting the encryption key to be destroyed.
That assumes they use an on-disk encryption mechanism or, perhaps, the TPM
in the PC. And that the key destruction method is flawed.

Software-based full disk encryption (Bit locker, McAfee/SafeBoot, etc.)
should be just fine.

A bit on the FUD side of reporting, but an interesting read.
