Secure Erasing SSD

[kashix]

Hello all, after attempted to secure erase my old m4 128gb ssd, finally it reached back to peak top performance, I'm just wondering, is there a easier way to secure erase it? I tried Parted Magic many times before it really work and it is not very stable

not recommended to keep secure erase, I only did it once after using for close to 3 years to get my performance back!
