DoD level / 22-M data wipe

Hi Community,

I am looking for a reliable/well reputable disk clean tool safe and compatible for use on the new Macbook Pro Silicone M chip. I need this due to the nature of my work and highly confidential data that I dispose of regularly.

** Please refrain from telling me that macOS comes with File Vault which encrypts the data or that it is not ‘necessary’ for Solid State Drives. **

Doesn’t have to be a freeware, okay to purchase…. thanks in advance!

How do I securely wipe my hard drive using cryptographic erasure Hi, I am looking to sell my laptop and I've seen some articles about securely wiping it such as https://www.macobserver.com/tips/how-to/securely-erase-macs-ssd/. Based on the current OS, how true is the article above? If filevault is on, and you do a simple erase using Disk Utility, is that enough?

Erasing encrypted Intel Mac I have an older (2011) Intel iMac with encrypted HD that I am preparing to recycle. My aim is just to do a thorough wipe of the HD but should I turn off encryption first? FileVault is telling me this will take many hours. Since this will be recycled, is there any reason to turn off? Thanks.
