Core Data Recovery

I’ve played with these devices and found the same results as described in this article on data recovery of SSD devices.

Basically,  Solid state disks are flash type media and with trim enabled zero out the sectors as they are put into reuse.

The zeroing of the data blocks removes the data, no latent fingerprints.

Too TRIM? When SSD Data Recovery is Impossible

Leaving no traces of your data after a delete makes me feel secure, however you really should be certain your backups are good as you can’t undelete files, they are gone for good.

In short, this makes forensic recovery impossible on the drive.  Good for the bad guys, bad for the good guys.

Let me know what you think.
