Anyone have any clues about how to sanitize a dead SSD? We haven't had it yet, but we're sure it's coming. Esp. since I'm a federal contractor, a dead disk gets deGaussed, but what the hell do you do with a SSD?
SSD disks must be shredded as the data has been written over multiple sectors many times to 'even the writes'. This allows for even a 'dead' disk to be disassembled with 'off-the-shelf' equipment to extract items from the dead places. Depending on the data involved, there may be different levels of shredding and destruction of shreds required.
