maybe "hdparm security erase" is an option (don't know if disk content is afterwards still recoverable) https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/ATA_Secure_Erase It works with spinning drives too. At least bother of my Samsung drives are supported. (time: 500 GB 112 min) I'm not quit sure, but I mean I did "security erase" with one of the Samsung HDD tools too - Samsung HDD Utility(HUTIL ? or - Samsung ESTOOL ?) Also, I got a "security erase" option in my Bios (MSI B250-PC-MATE mainboard) another tool: hdat2 https://www.hdat2.com/ _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
