Re: SSD Drives - Impossible to Reliably Erase?

[John Jones <chianime@xxxxxxxxx>]

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.
