File Eraser for SSD
Now my new Beast PC has arrived, I'm got an issue not encountered before. I decided to get one of the whizzy SSD drives, but being all security conscious I don't tend to use the recycle bin for deleting files, I used something called 'Eraser' which securely deleted files by overwriting data etc, etc.

Thing is, with an SSD they have load levelling and TRIM & other complex things that add up to the fact you're not supposed to overwrite stuff multiple times like you can on a trad HD.

So all you SSD users out there, what apps do you use to securely delete files (not wiping the whole drive) just the things you toss in the bin.
