If I use the command line CLEAN on my SSD, and then fresh install Win 10 on it, is that safe enough to sell with the rest of my computer? I don't want to use CLEAN ALL.

This is a cheap Team SSD. They don't have squat, unfortunately. I tried Crucial Storage Executive that I use in my Crucial drives, but it wouldn't work on this Team drive.

I read that it wastes precious writes. That the SSD can only write so many times. But now that I think of it, that is the same thing a low level format would do, right?

A single usage of clean all would reduce the theoretical lifespan of the SSD by one day. One day, several years from now.
