Something that may throw a wrench in secure erasing the sandisk drive. I didn’t notice this because I have an SSD already in my computer, but apparently Parted Magic will not allow you to secure erase the Sandisk USB Drive if it cannot detect a hard drive with the capability to secure erase itself. It just disables that menu, not checking to see if the usb devices can, I guess.
Oh, and I forgot a step, when you open the “ATA Secure Erase” program in Parted Magic, you will need to “Show all devices”
After that, the USB devices will show up.
