Around the station
gollark: I think modern SSDs have "secure erase" where they just wipe the encryption key from the controller, but there's no way to test how well that actually works.
gollark: So SSDs do MANY tricks to optimize the locations of stuff in flash to minimize wear.
gollark: Flash has to be erased in large blocks to be rewritten, which it can only do 10000 times or so and which is quite slow.
gollark: The exposed blocks on SSDs don't directly map to actual flash.
gollark: Sorry, my network connection mysteriously ceased to exist.
