Encryption through fragmentation possible on SSD?
« on: May 20, 2011, 02:40:30 pm »
So I posted something like this a week or so ago but the topic like disappeared. ???    Maybe I pressed something...
Anyways,   I read this article about how it would be possible to encrypt data by breaking it down and scattering the pieces all throughout the HD.  On a large HD that sounds like reasonable idea.  However, I was talking to a friend and the concept of doing the same thing on a Solid State Drive came up.    I see how it would function on a standard HD -due to how they store data throughout the disc. But would that work on a SSD?  Because they store data differently (hence the major speed different)  So would that prevent data from potentially being scattered?
