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.
