I decided that the next time I reformatted my main desktop computer (this one) I would have a ssd installed in it to use for the boot drive. Now that Centos 7 is on the horizon, I'm thinking that the time is approaching when I'll want to do that.
I have a question about SSD respecting security. Recently I have been investigating sanitizing these devices, together with 'smart-phones, tablets and pads which use flash memory persistent storage. Not to mention the ubiquitous USB 'memory stick'. I have come to the rather unsettling conclusion that it is effectively impossible to 'sanitize' these things short of complete and utter physical destruction, preferably by incineration. Is this in fact the case?
