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?

A five pound ball-peen hammer. Or if you're feeling adventurous, a few seconds in a microwave oven, but set it up outside, so as not to set off the smoke alarms.

A drive grinding machine would do, but those are less fun for just a single drive.
