[QUOTE="YanAndrew, post: 1908656, member: 405153"] Hi Randy, I use a third-party application file shredder to shred unwanted files in my HDDs and in the app, it said never to shred files if they are saved in an SSD. Instead, move to trash and empty the trash, and then shred the free space in the SSD. The application has a shred free space function that I use to shred the free space off my external SSD, which is why I wonder wouldn't that shorten the lifespan of my external SSD. Hence, this post.
