Re: File Eraser for SSD
Searching up, it seems that "overwrite method" does not work AT ALL - the only thing even a single overwrite of a file will achieve is to move the previous physical blocks to the recycle queue and put the overwrite data in new blocks - but the does hide the data away - multiple overwrite is pointless on SSD.

The common suggestion seems to be delete, then use the drive tools to trim now.
