" First the "SATA" connection has no erase feature and SATA is most often used for disk drives anyway (though some large capacity enterprise HDD have a secure erase button to be used one time before disposal)." *
I can't with some people.
PSA: stop doing dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdX
use (as root)
hdparm --user-master u --security-erase-enhanced 4HFgWWDzWpRC6 /dev/sdXhdparm --user-master u --security-erase 4HFgWWDzWpRC6 /dev/sdX
or if you are on a NVME drive
nvme sanitize /dev/nvmeX -a start-crypto-eraseAlso please you all make sure that you know what you are talking about before you make a fool out of yourself in a public space

Leute, die #SSDs mit Nullen überschreiben, um Daten zu vernichten, glauben auch, dass Spinat besonders viel Eisen enthält. 😉
Ernsthaft, dadurch verringert ihr nur die Lebensdauer des Laufwerks oder beschädigt es sogar. Und eine Garantie, dass alles sicher überschrieben wurde, gibt es auch nicht. Darum immer #SecureErase verwenden: https://www.thomas-krenn.com/de/wiki/SSD_Secure_Erase
