SSD More Risky Than HDD
Apparently, SSDs Compared to More Risky Disk
Solid-state drives or SSDs, called a substitute for a fast hard drive popular because its presence in the laptop, but some experts claim that SSD was not as safe as expected. According to analysts of Objective Analysis, a research and consulting firm semiconductor field, Jim Handy stated that the SSD is providing data security protection is better than hard drives, but SSDs are not completely erase data and have a physical weakness that can be hacked from a source such as ultraviolet laser .
Although high-priced and has a more robust capacity compared to hard drives, SSDs have been through the popular especially for use in laptops. This is because energy-efficient SSD and can access data quickly. While the SSD data security can be at greater risk as these storage technologies began to be used for larger devices such as smartphones. Handy added that the banya SSD uses NAND flash chips are designed for standard cameras and MP3 players, so there is no physical security to prevent hacking. In other words, hackers can easily open the NAND chips from an SSD and read the data using a flash chip program.

Meanwhile, other physical hacking of the use of ultraviolet lasers to solve the key ekripsi from the secure chip SSD. According hacker Bunnie from his blog, an array of data from SSDs can be read using the normal standard programs, such as a conventional ROM readers revealed after the key bits. Furthermore, encryption in addition to securing the SSD, but can also create files erased. IFixIt CEO Kyle Wiens explains, such as hard drives, SSDs can make many copies of files, but encryption software can help remove the files are still safe.
Overall, at its core more easily delete data from SSDs compared to hard disk. In SSD, the data stored in many electrons, and then each electron so that the data out more quickly the data will be read, or even more easily lost if not careful. While the hard drive, lots of data are stacked (overwritten) or physical damage, so the data often can not read.
