A disk purge solution for flash drives
Foremay, Inc. announced the Avalanche Secure Erase Suite at the Flash Memory Summit 2010.

Even reformatting the SSD also leaves data intact," said Jack Winters, CTO of Foremay, during the Flash Security workshop and panel at the Flash Memory Summit 2010, "the Avalanche Secure Erase Suite deploys various technologies to overwrite or destroy all user data in allocated blocks, file tables, and data in reallocated defective blocks. It is engineered to execute hard drive erase, and to erase files permanently"
After secure erase files with Avalanche technologies, one can now either dispose or transfer an SSD safely without worry about information leakage, or destroy physically the flash memory in side an SSD.
