Perform secure erasure to render SSD unrecoverable.
Perform secure erasure to render SSD unrecoverable.
I attempted it on a fresh board, but it seems the SSD could be failing. You mentioned using secure erase to attempt a fix, though you didn’t specify what issue it resolved. It’s possible the problem isn’t related to the method and might indicate the drive is nearing the end of its lifespan. Secure erase removes all data from flash memory, and SSD chips typically handle only a limited number of erasures before they degrade. What was the initial concern?
