[QUOTE="bazang, post: 1113076, member: 114717"] The only method proven by real-world practice that guarantees data is non-recoverable from a SSD is to physically destroy it. Usually pulverization, followed by incineration. But hey, that does not help if you used a cloud service provider. If you did, then your best option is cryptoerasure. Use strong cryptography to encrypt the data and then completely destroy the encryption key. Even with this method forensic experts can obtain metadata on other infos that could turn out to be insightful and revealing. The easiest and cheapest way is to not collect or create the data and store it on a SSD in the first place. To keep track of and fully destroy all data requires an extreme amount of discipline and effort. [/QUOTE]
