I've been holding off getting the keyboard fixed on my MacBook Pro. Can't hold off anymore. I've a bunch of client photos including boudoir and nude that I've deleted. Secure erase is no longer available for SSD's since in theory that cannot be done with SSD's due to how sectors are dynamically allocated including a somewhat large (20%?) buffer area for load leveling. So, these are just basic deleted.
I'd really really hate for someone at Apple to somehow recover one of these files and it get out. Any thoughts on how likely that is and what I can do? Pretty much everything I've found says it can't be done and to use FileVault. Too late for that? And I assume that Apple will need my PW for fixing my machine and will therefore have access to everything within FileVault? Or will FileVault effectively overwrite the entire disk including the leveling buffer and so anything deleted prior will now be securely erased?
On a side note, once encrypted with FileVault, is anything that is deleted now securely deleted so that even if someone has the PW they'd not be able to recover them?
Thanks,
