Hi folks

I am looking to sell my computer but dont want information being possibly retrieved and whatnot.

I have two SSDs in this computer. one runs the OS and installs most files/etc and the other one is just there to store games and stuff to run them seperately from the OS.

Is it safe to wipe and sell off the secondary SSD? I assume all my information is on the drive I boot from but I want to be 100% sure.

Thanks for the help

For any drive you need to fully wipe it, and then reinstall the OS if applicable.
For an SSD, you need to do a Secure Erase, with whatever function the manufacturer gives you.

If you are selling the system with one of the drives, Secure Erase, then reinstall the OS.
