Question

When we discussed solid state disk drives, we noted that they can be worn out if written too often and so the disks themselves use an algorithm called wear leveling to reduce this repetitive writing to the same location in the disk. Thus logical (user) block 0 might actually be block 100 at one time and block 1000 at another. This would appear to be a possible security issue since erasing the drive is the first step in clearing out sensitive data and the wear leveling algorithm tries to prevent writing to the same block as much as possible.. Is this truly a problem or do the ssd disk drive manufacturers have a solution to this problem. Include any references you used to derive your answer
