I give up, what are SSDs? Absolutely no references to this acronym in your "documentation". All I know is that erasing free space is locking me out.
Thx,

Solid State Drive or Solid State Disk, has no spinning platters, saves data to solid state chips, sort of.
Not sure why they still call it a disk, it isn't round and doesn't spin, but maybe that's just me.
The conventional wisdom is that here is no need to erase free space, nor to use multiple passes when overwriting.
Those operations seriously reduce the life of the disk.
Many on here know more than I, maybe will chime in.
A quick search will show you enough information to make you dizzy. Did me, at least.
