So if you want to properly erase an encrypted drive, you have to zero it, encrypted, and never use TRIM.
(Sorry, but I can't begin to locate the thread I'm about to cite.)
A while back, tacit posted SSD statistics that (if I remember correctly) showed that in many, if not most, instances their write capacities - even without TRIM implemented - far exceeds the useful lives of the machines they're in.
That, taken together with V1's quoted statement, suggests that most of us who are
really concerned about the security of the contents of our Macs
may be best served by implementing V1's advice, because in many instances TRIM does no more than lengthen the life of devices that are already longer, maybe even far longer, lived than they need to be.
Needless to say, we didn't stock any of these new drives.
I have no idea. I don't do sales, and rarely needed to come up front and help out.
You already said that you didn't stock them.
I was asking whether the product, itself, flew or was dead in the water to others as it was to you?
