I am giving away a shitty 128GB SSD, which was used with LUKS 2 for most of it’s lifetime. As far as I know, it’s good practice to secure-erase it, but I’m too lazy to reinstall the OS on it (I already did it once). Is it really needed?

    Yep, he’ll probably sell it in a laptop I put it in. I’m kinda skeptical about an ONDA laptop with a 4-core Celeron selling. Might as well keep it, give it away or something.

    Yes, I have to complain about this laptop. It’s worth less than just the SSD.

      i have a POS laptop here with a small ssd in it, gemini lake, originally came with 4gb and hdd. as sold, was about the slowest piece of shit available that ‘officially’ supports win11. it has 8gb and that 120gb ssd now, and it’s barely usable to look at a web page.

      i just get it out when i need to show someone something online or do something online for them.
