Denis is sanitizing a solid-state drive (SSD). What is the best method to sanitize it?

Answer Options

A

Clearing

B

Zero fill

C

Disintegration

D

Degaussing

Correct Answer: C

Explanation

Due to problems with remnant data, the U.S. National Security Agency requires physical destruction of SSDs. This process, known as disintegration, results in very small fragments via a shredding process. Zero fill wipes a drive by replacing data with zeros, degaussing uses magnets to wipe magnetic media, and clearing is the process of preparing media for reuse.
