Australian researchers find ‘garbage collection’ or purging algorithms used in many new solid state drives could be making forensic analysis at a later date almost impossible to carry out to legally safe standards. They found a layer cake of data recovery problems caused by the purging algorithm used in SSDs to keep them at peak performance. The findings are published in Solid State Drives: The Beginning of the End for Current Practice in Digital Forensic Discovery? by Graeme Bell and Richard Boddington of Murdoch University in Perth, Australia.”]
