How do I wipe a modern SSD to prevent data recovery?
(lemmy.world)
What about phones?
Bench grinder, sledgehammer, and thermite all work on phones too!
Install all your steam library to full your SSD. Should do the job. Empty the disk, rinse and repeat a few times.
With fire
Smash them with a hammer until they're sand.
Crack it open and run s drill through the center of each flash chip.
Microwave
You smash it in 100 different places
If it is a large concern, then encryption will help. There are even drives with built-in encryption exactly for this purpose.
Otherwise, will with non-repeated data. Repeat 9 times. (A heuristic, based on something I read 10 years ago.)
Do not use repeated digits. Those are optimized out.
