Secure Erase Momentus XT Cache

[ Edited ]

Hello,

 

I'm wondering if there is a way to ensure that the SSD cache of the Momentus XT is securely erased? I'm aware that I can just replace the hard drive with /dev/zero however I assume that the cache could still potentially contain sensitive data. As such I'm wondering if there is anyway you can ensure that the SSD is securely wiped?

 

Thanks,

If you format the drive it will clear the cache. Should you want something different to specifically clear it, you can use the Drive Cleanser option, which is available with our DiscWizard v 13:
