    Well, the storage device should handle that then. And modern NVMEs do. Self-encrypted drives are used to hide deleted information from an attacker that desolders the storage chips.

    Edit: there are NVMEs that dont use self encryption, BUT they should still recognize a deleted sector.

      That would apply in my “encrypted container of some sort” solution, yes.

      Deletion commands are unfortunately not very reliable on many SSDs
