First, it's been less than an hour, don't bump your own threads in that time, it's against Tom's rules.

Second, should you use bootable usb drive or bootable cd/dvd for what? Installing windows? I don't get your question, which probably doesn't help why no one has replied in less than an hour.

Your question's really confusing. You should describe your problem clearly.

if you what is the best way to secure erase a SSD?
It makes no difference, always the same commands.

How do I know my SSD is working? My PC doesn't seem all that fast like I imagined.

If it wasn't working, you wouldn't be able to say "My PC doesn't seem all that fast like I imagined."

You're welcome.

Did you use Samsung's SSD magician to secure erase it? That's what I use, but I do have a spare PC to use it to secure erase it.
