I am giving away a shitty 128GB SSD, which was used with LUKS 2 for most of it’s lifetime. As far as I know, it’s good practice to secure-erase it, but I’m too lazy to reinstall the OS on it (I already did it once). Is it really needed?

    just use a hammer, a microwave and a blowtorch.

    Not really great on SSDs, though. It’ll likely make them slower

    Yup. I agree. XD
