Thanks Webster From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Richard Stovall Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2015 9:19 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] SSD scrub/sanitize/wipe It was a 128GB mSATA SSD. My home PC does not have an mSATA slot, so I had to purchase an external device with a USB connection. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LRZPNHM). It took something like 45 minutes to complete the encryption. I honestly don't know if the USB slot I connected it to was 2.0 or 3.0.

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 encryption with what interface/connection?

I recently had to return a personal laptop for replacement and could not find a method for securely erasing its SSD. Googling around for answers, I came upon the idea of encrypting the entire drive as one way of virtually guaranteeing that data could not be recovered. That made sense to me, and some before and after analysis with Winhex seemed to support it as a viable solution for my purposes. What are others doing in this regard?
