Wipe Hardrive

[Luisa]

Hello.

 

I need a software to wipe my harddrive to factory settings, to return it to the seller.

I tried DBAN but for some reason it's not working.

Does anyone know a good software to wipe the OS from the SSD?

Thank you!

Just the OS or the whole HDD?

I just want to restore the SSD to factory default and performance.

You shouldn't really use DBAN on an SSD, it can eat up the write cycles of the flash chips.

 

What SSD do you have? The manufacturer will probably have a tool for safely wiping SSDs. I know Adata have one such tool in their SSD Toolbox, but that would require you to connect it to a PC running Windows:

It's a Samsung SSD 850.

I'm trying to do with Parted Magic but it's Frozen and can't fix it...
