Some months back I was going to send a computer in repair. I discovered there is no program to clear an SSD.
Some years ago I was reading about how an SSD did wear leveling, and recovered from errors. The article claimed that often the SSD came with more memory than was listed. If, in the course of normal operations if found a bad section, it would somehow mark that area for "Do Not See or Use" and use the extra, secret memory space to do the work that was for the disabled section. I am guessing it is just that in normal operations for Qubes OS, such trivia does not matter. Don't let the evil power groups get their hands on the SSD. Then the potential loss of data is pretty small. Unless the SSD firmware can be tricked out in some way. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
