[QUOTE="Sonic88, post: 1646798, member: 346149"] Thanks for your reply. According to what I've read, formatting a HD doesn't ensure that the data is unrecoverable, unless you do a secure erase from disk utility. But I've also read that secure erase can actually cause harm to SSDs. Despite the typical danger of losing your password with file vault, will a deleted encrypted disk image be still inaccessible even if it was somehow recovered by someone (someone who doesn't know your password)?
