Answer Description

Incinerating is the process of burning storage media at high temperatures to the point of destruction, where the device and data cannot be reconstructed or retrieved. This is why it is the most secure form of data destruction for an SSD that is not functioning and needs to be disposed of securely. Other methods such as shredding or degaussing might leave some parts of the SSD or data recoverable, or in the case of degaussing, are ineffective for SSDs since they do not store data magnetically.
