I understand traditional methods don’t work with modern SSD, anyone knows any good way to do it?

    If you want to keep/sell the drive…

    1. Fill up the rest of the usable space
    2. Encrypt the drive
    3. Throw away the encryption key/password
    4. Hard format (writing zeroes to every bit, sorry if that’s the wrong term

    Is that the best strategy? Or is anything outside of 2 and 3 redundant?
