Flash-based memories, including NAND flash solid state drives (SSDs), are more difficult to deeply and permanently erase than magnetic hard disk drives (HDDs). Nonvolatile memory express (NVMe)-based SSDs are a new type of flash-based memory that require new technologies to access and perform permanently wiped digital erasure. There are older generation flash-based SSDs, such as Fusion-io PCIe cards, that now need to be securely erased as part of disposition and decommissioning.
Secure digital erase technology protects your data and information while maximizing your investment in old and new SSDs.
