Buy SSDs with secure erase (many of them!), they encrypt data internally. Secure-erase the throws away the key, and all the data is now irretrievable.

If you trust that the secure erase part of the firmware functions properly. There was work in the last 5 years to let the OS (at least Linux) do most of the SSD controller functionality which I think would be helpful if it caught on.

I take your standard, solder it to a motherboard, and disable it with a TPM protected bios.
