Hey guys, how do you erase the data on a SSD, so that is becomes unrecoverable by standard forensic techniques.
I know how it works for normal HDD, but for SSDs it is different and i haven't found a lot of info on that shit.
The thing is i have a few high capacity ssds to sell, but they have had highly sensitive info on them and since there have been a few extreme cases of data recovery and identity theft in my country, i dont want to run any risks.

>They haven't found the fucker yet.

A hammer should do the trick. Could even finish off with a mortar and pestle.

I am talking about techniques, after which i can still sell it off.
For HDDs, simply filling the drive with 1s 6 times over does the trick, but i have no idea what i am supposed to do on a SSD.

Just write over it with 0s a few dozen times, just like a HDD

Does not work, the controller might just fill one third of the disk with 0s a few hundret times and leave the rest intact.
Also, there is the issue of defective blocks, which can contain data, despite being set as off limit by the controller, since they have become somewhat faulty.

Use a Magnet

You seriously can't. I've tested it by trying to fill the drive with fake files and then running photorec. Whoops, the deleted test files are still there. You absolutely must physically destroy the drive.

Gutman algorithm should do the trick in both ssd & hdd
