Since you said you don't care about what's on the drive no, you'll just delete everything including the encrypted partitions.

I have an ASUS ZENBOOK 15 with a 512GB Intel SSD. And due to me screwing around with the wrong drivers I had to wipe my drive and reinstall Windows. But since it is an offline install, it was probably a bad install.

My dad took it to a repair store and they say my SSD is corrupted and are telling my dad it needs to be replaced. It's an NVME SSD so it's costly.

 

TLDR; Is there any way a corrupted SSD with BIT-ENCRYTION to be repaired. I have my important documents backed up so having it wiped clean is not a concern.

What method did you use to wipe the drive

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?

When I restarted after installing the wrong drivers and it didn't boot up correctly so with the help of Windows diagnostic tools I did an offline install since it couldn't connect to the Internet (probably the bad drivers I just installed) and in the options I choose wipe the drive clean.

So you didn't actually wipe it. Create an install USB with media creation tool, boot from that, delete all partitions on the SSD and install, this will wipe everything correctly.

Will bit encryption be any problem but I do have the encryption key?
