that wasn't enough time to write in every sector of the drive, but again maybe i'm wrong and 'sanitize' is something different or just wiping the partition table

a dedicated program would certainly give more feedback about the operation and the result

i would just use linux livecd (like ubuntu or popos) - beside partitioning and disk tools you can use internet etc ]]> Sun, 06 Aug 2023 00:02:53 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=26252&PID=106888&title=nvme-clear-tool#106888 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=26252&PID=106887&title=nvme-clear-tool#106887 Author: shaniag

Never used such tools build into motherboard and probably never will because you have dedicated tools for that you boot from USB drive and they are giving you more options and control.

Format should be formatting the partition. This could be useful if you wanted to reinstall the system.

Sanitize should be erasing the drive (writing 0 in every sector) so nobody can read the content of the drive once you for example sell it.

None of this operations should degrade the drive more than regular use.]]> Sat, 05 Aug 2023 19:29:19 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=26252&PID=106883&title=nvme-clear-tool#106883 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=26252&PID=106879&title=nvme-clear-tool#106879 Author: shaniag
