thanks so much for all this info. This is the stuff I feel like I should know (but don't)
So for SSDs dd and shred won't cut it? The Lenovo tool sounds cool, but I'm potentially doing alot of these on alot of devices. So I can't rely on something specific like that.
I'll have to look into parted magic too.
