Formatting SSDs for selling
Go to solution
Solved by jaslion,
5 minutes ago, Stahlmann said:i'm going to sell my old SSD. The SSD in question was my Windows boot drive, so there is probably a lot of sensible information on there. Of course i want to fully format it before sending it off. What is the right way to go here to make it as hard as possible to recover any files currently on there.
Overwrite all of the drive with empty data.
Basically powershell and then this stuff: Format-Volume -DriveLetter C -FileSystem FAT32 -FullFormat –Force
Of course ntfs or whatever can be done I just took the command from google to not have any mistakes in it which there still are cuz copy paste :p.
