Because you said garbage removal in stead of garbage collection and again said garbage collections of SSD is superior to HDD.

HDD's don't have garbage collection, HDD's simply overwrite data. So yes SDD's garbage collection is far superior to HDD's as is the flying capacity of a pigeon far superior to that of an elephant.

Secure delete is the same as bleaching, so not recommended on a SDD
Oh my so good at word play are you. It means effective file moving and deleting on ssd is better than hhd, I did not say one had what the other did, are you done acting like a toddler yet, because frankly you regurgitating what you read others say and nit picking others post does not make you look intelligent, it makes you look like an arse trouble making troll.

I have seen you reddit a post repeatedly rewording things just to poke at others, it's not helpful and certainly reflects on you, I know others have seen it too.
