   Darik's Boot and Nuke, also known as DBAN / ˈ d iː b æ n /, is a free and open-source project hosted on SourceForge. [2] The program is designed to securely erase a hard disk until its data is permanently removed and no longer recoverable, which is achieved by overwriting the data with pseudorandom numbers generated by Mersenne Twister or ISAAC.

   [24] It recommends cryptographic erase as a more general mechanism. According to the University of California, San Diego Center for Magnetic Recording Research's (now its Center for Memory and Recording Research) "Tutorial on Disk Drive Data Sanitization" (p. 8): "Secure erase does a single on-track erasure of the data on the disk drive. The U ...

8. Trim (computing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trim_(computing)

   For a file deletion operation, the operating system will mark the file's sectors as free for new data, then send a TRIM command to the SSD. After trimming, the SSD will not preserve any contents of the block when writing new data to a page of flash memory, resulting in less write amplification (fewer writes), higher write throughput (no need ...

9. Hardware-based full disk encryption - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware-based_full_disk...

   With encrypted drives a complete and secure data erasure action takes just a few milliseconds with a simple key change, so a drive can be safely repurposed very quickly. This sanitisation activity is protected in SEDs by the drive's own key management system built into the firmware in order to prevent accidental data erasure with confirmation ...
