Here's a presentation written by Foremay

Secure Erase Options for SSDs (pdf) - summary of a paper presented at the Flash Memory Summit

Jack says he chose this article because "It describes options to protect data from loss which is a key concern of enterprise users.

"The presentation discusses different approaches for the secure erase of data on SSD's. Although key destruction of a self-encrypting drive provides some protection and is very fast, the data remains on the drive leaving the possibility of decryption with breakthroughs in the future. Secure erase eliminates this possibility entirely, and can be done with a hardware-based, one-key self-destroy disk purge in a few seconds, or a secure erase using a one-key or software-based method in several seconds. These options provide a range of methods to keep the data secure."
