Are there standard practices for securely erasing any random SSD without having to look up it's implementation details? Or is this the sort of thing you just use a shredder for?
- hosay123 14y agoEncrypt it and store the key anywhere except on the drive. To erase, simply destroy the key. Many motherboards come with a tamper-proof key storage device you can reset on command (the TPM). There's a SATA secure erase command, but its been shown multiple vendors have managed to botch its implementation. So if you can't make the encryption approach work, shredder is probably still best bet
- dsl 14y agoStandard practice in government and large enterprise is still physical destruction, for exactly the reason you mention. http://www.monomachines.com/shop/intimus-crypto-1000-hard-drive-crusher.html http://www.monomachines.com/shop/intimus-crypto-1000-hard-dr... or you can get a service to come out and do it on site.
