0Denis 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.
