Greetings
I have a year now installed an Samsung 970 EVO Nve 500Gb and has Win 10 installed on it. I have 2 other HDs, a WD Black 1 TB and the WD blue 500G installed in my system.
I plan install Manjaro on the WD blue.But that no the case.
I want to secure erase my 970 SSD.
When I tried with Samsung Magician (on next state in DOS mode) the drive is 'frozen' and give me message to disconnect my drive!
But how this will happen while my system is running? I believe it dangerous .and I don't want to use parted Magic as other optin ( not going to pay for a program I will use it once maybe in a year). But my BIOS have the option to erase my SSD.
Is the progress secured with my Bios secure erase? Will do the same task as Samsung Magician? Or the Samsung's utility is more safe ?
My drive isn't SATA SSD to just remove the cables as the Magician suggest ..its NVE , and remoove the screw daring system in power I don't approve with this method.
Is there some way to wipe entirely ANY data the SSD has, without unplug the SSD? Or I can use the Asus tool from bios without problem?
My specs
CPU: Ryzen 7 1800x
MB:Asus Crosshair VI Hero ( with the new bios update allow third gen CPUs too installed)
RAM : 16GB Dual Channel 2 sims 3200 Mhz
GFX: Saphire Nitro+ Vega 64 8G
CPU Coller : Coolemaster hyper 212X
PSU: Seasonic 850FX 80+Gold
