When I asked Apple how to wipe an SSD, they told me something like you write to 90% of the disk and then do it again and somehow it starts the 90% from the other end, like cutting a deck of cards or something. Dunno. Ever see how much info people can recover from an 'erased' phone? So things may be scattered, but why would, say, the pixels of a single photo not all be in the same place?

joemikeb: I remember they did tell me that the only thing that can be done is use encryption from the beginning.
