-[* icon_caution] ***''When possible, avoid sector wiping SSDs. This will reduce the drive liftetime and can be drastic on older 75TBW lifetime drives.''***
-[* icon_caution] ***''Your erase options are limited to the Security Set options supported by your drive.''***
-[* icon_note] Drives without ATA Secure Erase will need to be erased externally. Select ***''External''*** and choose Nwipe. ***''Run the DoD Short command (3 wipes+drive blanking).''***
