Sort of using crypto, which I think is still the best response to this particular use case --- the trick is making it easy to use, but that's a desktop/distro integration problem --- the most secure way to really make sure information on paper and on an SSD is secure is actually the same --- you use a shredder. And this isn't just for "military grade security". There are some commercial cloud providers which do precisely this, because they know that their customer's security and their reputation is not easily valued, and certainly the cost of some piddling flash chips, after they have been depreciated, is defintiely cheaper than a security exposure. Look at the estimates of how much money Target lost with their little security oopsie. Again, this is commercial, not military security.
