Should I Secure Erase my SSD before sending it back for warranty?
The reason I ask is that the utility that came with the SSD says that
there is a possibility that if you use the secure erase feature that it will lockup the whole drive. So should I secure erase or just delete the partition and that should be sufficient? I don't want the manufacturer blaming me for secure erasing it, when the problem is elsewhere. |

Deleting the partition can easily be undone. Which is more important to you; the privacy of the data on the drive, or the price of replacing the drive? -- Grant. . . . unix || die |
