If you have SSD, there's unfortunately little an AppVM can do to really erase its data as the SSD controller is free to relocate AppVM's data blocks elsewhere on the physical device when you overwrite to them. In contrast to HDDs, the SSD controllers really do that relocating whole the time to increase the lifespan of the drive and at least some forensics may still reveal the previous version of the data. -- i. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
