If you're wiping the entire drive and the firmware isn't buggy, you should be ok - but being sure that single file(s) are actually deleted is not likely.
- jnsaff 16y agoI had exactly the same article in mind when reading the OP one. Exactly the opposite message. Who to believe?
- elehack 16y agoThey are not incompatible messages at all. This article says that SSDs delete stuff fast; the other says you can't reliably delete particular things. Basically, they're unpredictable. You can't reliably expect a particular file to be purged, and investigators can't expect data to stick around. So it might stick around, it might not, and no one has direct control.
