Hi, Recent versions of util-linux have a blkdiscard program. How does this compare to the --security-erase option of hdparm? The goal is to erase the contents of an previously used SSD to improve performance. Is the command `blkdiscard -s /dev/sdd` equivalent to the instructions listed on https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/ATA_Secure_Erase? -- Kind regards, Peter https://lekensteyn.nl -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
