This matters when evaluating secure disposal, rather than predicting that a recovery application can retrieve an overwritten file.<\/p>\n<h3>SSD Writes Use Internal Address Mapping<\/h3>\n<p>SSDs manage flash through a controller. Updating a logical address can write to a different flash page and invalidate the previous page. Garbage collection later consolidates valid data and erases blocks for reuse.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, a logical overwrite does not guarantee that every earlier physical copy has immediately disappeared.
