How to List Data-Bearing Assets
A step-by-step answer, covering what actually matters and what you can skip. Solid-state drives don't behave the same way as spinning hard drives when it comes to data destruction — some wiping methods that work well for one don't apply cleanly to the other.
- Raise data destruction needs before pickup, not after.
- Documentation may be available for business requests — ask upfront.
- Method depends on the device and whether it will be reused.
SSDs vs traditional hard drives
For how to list data-bearing assets, solid-state drives don't behave the same way as spinning hard drives when it comes to data destruction — some wiping methods that work well for one don't apply cleanly to the other. Mention the drive type so the right method gets recommended.
