How Can I Erase Data from a Dead M.2 SSD?
Asked by

Hey everyone, my SSD recently died and has now gone into read-only mode. I'm using Hiren's Boot to access the system, but I need to find a way to erase all the data on it. I'm sending it back for warranty and don't want to risk sending my personal information along with it. Any suggestions for tools or methods I can use? Thanks!

You might want to consider physically destroying the SSD if privacy is a big concern. Just hammering or drilling through it can make the data irretrievable, and it’s definitely a surefire way to protect your info before sending it back.
