Hey guys,
I want to shred/sanitize my SSDs. If it was a normal harddrive I would stick to ShredOS / nwipe, but since SSD’s seem to be a little more complicated, I need your advice.
When reading through some posts in the internet, many people recommend using the software from the manufacturer for sanitizing. Currently I am using the SSD SN850X from Western digital, but I also have a SSD 990 PRO from Samsung. Both manufacturers don’t seem to have a specialized linux-compatible software to perform this kind of action.
How would be your approach to shred your SSD (without physically destroying it)?

Everyone has given Linux answers, its also worth knowing quite a lot of UEFI’s contain the ability to secure erase as well. There are a number of USB bootable disk management tools that can do secure erase as well.
Good to know. Turns out that linux users are not lost when it comes to this topic!
