Old computer disposal, public tip

<< < (5/5)

boost:
Possibly to stop people coming back, aghast, requesting, "Everyone please stop what you're doing. That laptop I threw away had 5,000 bitcoins on it..."

niemand:
Secure deletion of SSD, like everything else, is overwriting as much as possible.

I will suggest that people are mindful of how SSDs work: the controller abstracts an awful lot of activities and load leveling makes it tricky to overwrite every cell especially given the overprovisioning of cells.

Run enough iterations of a cell overwrite and you'll get there though recovery is theoretically possible, but running it through a metal shredder then melting the output to ensure any cells that made it through the shredder undamaged are history will definitely work.
