I wonder what this implies for SSDs that claim to support instantaneous ATA Secure Erase. Many SEDs, when issued this command, will simply discard their internal key and generate a new one, in theory rendering data irretrievable. I've encountered this method recommend over traditional wiping for reasons of security (you can't be sure all blocks are wiped when overwriting due to internal reservation), speed, and flash-longevity.
