I currently have my old 850 evo connected to an external harddrive enclouse(usb 3.0) connected to my laptop. I want to secure erase it using samsung magician. However, when i open samsung magician, the ssd displays as a usb but has invalid s/n and does not display secure erase tab. Is there a step I am missing or something I should do differently? Thanks! ALSO, is there another software I should be using in my case? i only have a laptop(win7) at the moment. The SSD was previously main drive with windows. I already erased windows.old. Would I be good just formatting the drive? i am trying to sell it, so i dont want to have data stored.
TLDR;i need to wipe an ssd. if i need ssd to be connected via SATA, is there a way i could wipe the ssd via USB? I currently do not have a PC only a laptop. Thanks!
