but muh solids states are superduper reliable i don even have to reformat or dnnnutttn
>>
>>56969199
they don't really check what was on it
>>
>>56969199
send a trim command.
fstrim(?) under linux or default defrag tool under Windows ("optimise" option)
Then try to recover data via Recuva. If it won't detect and usable data - it's wiped. Zeroed.

>>56969199
Overwrite the entire drive with 0s. The partitioner on the install disk for kali linux gives you the option to do this.
>>
>>56969387
of course do this after deleting all partitions on creating a single, empty one

>>56969199
With a damp cloth.

Hit it with a hammer

Issue a secure erase command with hdparm.

Pretty much everyone saying anything else is wrong and if your device doesn't support it then its basically impossible.

You could reflash its cells, restoring it to a state indistinguishable from factory new (also resets the write life of each cell - very nice)

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX

Can cofirm this

What's on there that you don't want them to see?

Not him, but if I had to guess?

,,,no re-issuable code? I have not been even typing out some fancy ideas I have, in concept not in code, because I don't want them stolen. I have already been beaten to a few ideas like by maybe a week. So, I had an idea and a week later some company shipped out some product or service similar to it. I think maybe it was part of a game or a book. If that's the case it could be that I am just following some logical conjecture to a sequel.

I had non* but now it says no.

I'm almost certain it was non but whatever this is 4chan on its dying legs or something if what I'm reading in those notch threads is correct.

writes zero, then fill, then random to all free space at path specified after /w: switch
