I'm selling a laptop that was used to handle my personal data, and want to wipe the SSD before getting rid of it. However, I just realized that my SSD doesn't support any of the Sanitize or Secure Erase NVMe commands.
How can I securely clear my data from the drive? I've heard that overwriting it with zeroes or random data isn't enough and is additionally terrible for the drive itself.
I'd post a picture of the output of nvme id-ctrl
and my secure erase attempts but apparently I'm not allowed to do so as a new user.
