• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    SSDs and Digital Forensics

    Actually, the point of the UCSD paper was that Secure Erase implementations vary greatly from vendor to vendor. If the vendor actually does erase all of the flash blocks holding user data, then Secure Erase is incredibly secure. However, certain vendors were simply updating a look-up table...

    SSD NAND decay?

    @Valnar & john4200: The JEDEC JESD47F is applicable only to the semidonductor memory components, regardless of lithography. For qualication purposes, the overall cycling capability may be limited by the ability to retain data. So it's conceivable that a 25nm litho qualifies to a lower...

    SSD NAND decay?

    There seems like a lot of speculation on here by people not involved in the industry. So let's clarify a few points. Every vendor of Nand flash must meet JEDEC specs in order to qualify it. The overall spec is JESD47F. Google it for more information. But the specifications do not change...
