[QUOTE="RoboMan, post: 665750, member: 53544"] Please quote the whole phrase "Truth is: with this normal clean format everything will be gone, and if somebody wants to recover those files he should get to you, meaning he should first have reached the previous owner, meaning you are not gonna be the one in trouble." What i mean is that data will be gone on the first level. Recovery is possible but secure erase is unnecessary since the data will not be "user visible" and if anything happens he will not be the one in trouble. As referring to the first quote you made, wear leveling is what makes sure all the drive's memory chips are used up, cell by cell, before the first cell can be written to again. This means, that on modern SSD's, larger SSD will probably last longer than smaller ones. (terms of capacity). I certainly do not understand how "modern SSD's" have no issues with unnecessary writes, since the write count is finite. [/QUOTE]
