[. . . ] 64 User Guide • Format your solid-state drive, using the software for initializing it. €¢ Use the recovery program provided by Lenovo to bring the solid-state drive back to the factory default settings. These operations, however, only change the file location of the data; they do not delete the data itself. In other words, the data retrieval processing is disabled under an operating system such as Windows operating system. Thus, it is sometimes possible to read the data by use of special software for data recovery. There is a risk that people of bad faith might read and misuse the critical data on the solid-state drives for unexpected purposes. To prevent leakage of data, it is important that you delete all the data from the solid-state drive when you dispose of, sell, or hand over your computer. You can destroy the data physically by smashing the solid-state drive with a hammer, or magnetically by means of strong magnetic power, thus making the data unreadable. But it is recommended that you use the software (payware) or service (pay service) developed for that purpose. For disposing of data on the solid-state drive, Lenovo provides the Drive Erase Utility for Resetting the Cryptographic Key and Erasing the Solid State Drive tool. If an Encryption solid-state drive is supported and installed in your computer, you can logically dispose of all the data on the drive in a short time by erasing the cryptographic key. The data encrypted with the old key is not physically erased but remains on the drive; however, it cannot be decrypted without the old key. This feature also is available with the Drive Erase Utility for Resetting the Cryptographic Key and Erasing the Solid State Drive tool. Using firewalls If your system is preinstalled with a firewall program, it protects against computer Internet security threats, unauthorized accesses, intrusions, and Internet attacks.
