This describes the SSD dilemma precisely. Some manufacturers do this, some

also seems to be much more difficult than it 'ought to be.' I think your

But can the drive be reset by the manufacturers, for shipment as a ‘Refurb’?
Also could you say what size drive, and how long did it take to do the

Thanks for that information. I've been doing a lot of disk wiping lately.
As it is, the method I'm choosing, which does a random write followed by
zeros, takes an awfully long time, yet I was wondering if it was enough,
seeing that there are much more stringent ones to choose from.

Hi all,
can anyone recommend a portable printer for travel, this is for use during
workshops and meetings (figure about 30-50 pages printed per use).
it will be connected to laptop, wifi/bluetooth is a plus, but NOT required.
trying to stay in the 300 dollar range
Photo quality - Ok Colour, cheap colour or mono cheap toner, or thick, rich
glossy black stuff
Inkjet -or laser
What quality paper ?
Car transport or handcarry - home to meeting, or office to meetingroom
If not Wireless - then lan-type-cable or usb2 or 3
How often will the uses be
(250 days
Well, the Canon iP110 is still being made and sold. Just went to the Canon
site and found this

CDW or some other
Given the lightweight needs I don’t know of anything more suited than cannon
bubblejets
IP 110 – top feeder 50 sheets of A4, takes letter size paper too
Battery is a separate cost (holder screws on to back of printer fairly
securely), Bluetooth option also extra, as is the car power/charger
Thank you! That be the animal, alright. Now, I have to come up with the
money to get it. :(
But, everything in your last email for what you are looking for, this
printer line will do. And quite well, too. The quality is amazing. The
output is laser quality, or better. And the printing is fast.
