Compliance is the root of all evil. So, you want to destroy the SSD? Drill all SSDs. Destroyed finally. All data is safe. Let’s go home.

@nixCraft Er, NIST says "Shred, Disintegrate, Pulverize, or Incinerate by burning the device in a licensed incinerator" to destroy an SSD. This is hilarious but compliance isn't *as* terrible if the standards aren't bullshit. https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/specialpublications/nist.sp.800-88r1.pdf
@nixCraft No no no no no, Those should go into the paper shredder. A REALLY powerful paper shredder.
@nixCraft I would imagine even if they had hit the board if they miss the chip itself they risk that some expert could recover data from it anyway.
I don't know much about it, but isn't the old fashioned write 10x or so still effective even on SSDs? I know things get remapped and wear cycling even has reserved parts, but enough writes of random data should fully clear it eventually, right? (Though not sure if 10x is right or not with SSDs. That's from magnetic media.)
@nixCraft The only way to be 100% sure the data is destroyed is to eat the drives. Eat them.
@nixCraft I cut all mime in half with my plasma cutter 😁
@nixCraft what did the punching hear?
@nixCraft great
