Tommorow I am going to get the new parts for my PC. I bought everything new except for storage devices. I will be using an SSD and HD from my old PC.
I downloaded a program called HDShredder to erase my HD (my OS is on my SSD), and it worked fine. However, now that I want to do the same with my SSD, I cannot do it simply because my OS is on my SSD.
So how do I do as permanent erase of data on my SSD, when my OS is on it? All I did was reinstall Windows and format the SSD while I was at it, but I believe it's not as effective as using a software for completely deleting the content that was on it.
