blkdiscard vs hdparm for erasing a SSD?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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?
