> Flash storage, unlike traditional hard drives, can really be completely and irrecoverably erased, with no lingering magnetic ghosts that a sufficiently determined person could in theory reconstruct.
I think people vastly overestimate the possibility to recover any data from a wiped HDD.
See for example this article by SANS [1]. To recover a single bit you have a better chance of flipping a coin to see if the bit was a zero or a one then you have when you are actually trying to reconstruct it with lab equipment.
