Further googling on the topic revealed that there appears to be no secure way to wipe SSD drives...Seems to be a way to recover data no matter what...and even if you do some of the overwrite methods, you will degrade the performance terribly (not a big deal in this case since we are sending it back to the manufacturer) What?!?!?!? How did I miss this little tidbit of information! I then saw that the only possible way would be to use something specifically from the hardware manufacturer (in this case it was Samsung...and I see no way to use their tool on the MAC) Does anyone have any suggestions? What would be the DoD approved method? Haha...probably destruction only! Although I am worried about this for home computers as well....
