I understand you want to know secure erase your SSD Drive. Is there a way to do Secure Wipe or Sanitize on Mac?ĭear Pixel, Thank you for contacting SanDisk® Global Customer Support.

I tested deleting 1TiB of files from the drive from Finder, then emptying trash and then scanning the drive with R-Studio and R-studio was successfully able to recover all the files…

I understand that there’s a very efficient TRIM command that is vendor specific that can be used to wipe the drive without degrading its life. The official GUI software doesn’t seem to be on MacOS. Hi, how do I secure wipe the latest Extreme Pro SSD v2 4TB variant?
