If you only ever write encrypted data to the disk you don‘t care about spare ssd cells. The data was always encrypted you wouldn‘t even need to format before giving away.
- quietbritishjim 5y agoIn general I'd agree, but the parent comment mentioned "wiping the key part" so I guess they had the assumption that the password is weak enough that its vulnerable while that data is accessible, so I was assuming the same thing. (As you're no doubt aware, the encryption key for full-disk encrypted disks are encrypted by the decryption password and stored on the disk itself, at least when not using a TPM.)
