@melgu @nixCraft I mean someone going extreme enough to drill through them is presumably assuming that an attacker might be able to extract data, so I would assume they would not trust encryption to be absolute either. (There are also other side effects like performance loss if it uses a complex enough encryption to be worthwhile.)

Either way though, a full cell erase should be sufficient. No need to be super wasteful and destructive.

@nazokiyoubinbou @nixCraft Isn’t drive encryption / decryption done in hardware these days anyways?

@melgu @nixCraft Yes. I think you missed a significant portion of my previous post.

@nazokiyoubinbou @nixCraft I did? I was only talking about the performance loss due to the encryption. All your points are valid, though.
