Re: Securedly erase memory cards?

Don't they use the same method as Flash memory?

They are flash memory. All USB/SD/etc cards use flash memory. Not sure why Kilroy See Profile thinks they can't be wiped.

If you only have SD (vs CompactFlash, USB sticks etc) cards you can use the official SD Card Formatter with the overwrite option.

I will try it out later. No Linux port, eh? I hope full erase and full overwrites are enough.

Ya, but it looks like I am limited to Windows and Mac ports so I will have to use that one then.

One way to check would be install Recuva and see if you can recover the data after wiping, if not you should be ok. Also Recuva can tell you the state of the file well as can perform overwriting as well.
