[QUOTE="Digerati, post: 665843, member: 59833"] Well, again, a clean format does not delete data previously saved to the disk, regardless if SSD or HD. If you are buying a disk, what's the worry? There is none. If you are getting rid of and don't want any one else to discover any previously saved data, then you need to do a Secure Erase to be 100% certain none of your sensitive data can be recovered. Since this thread is about [I]receiving[/I] a second hand notebook, other than scanning for malware, I would not worry about any previously saved data. [/QUOTE]
