I have an external SSD I would like to delete with ATA Secure Erase. I don't want to overwrite it with 0s or random bits. Can I do this with macOS (13.0.1) on my MacBook Air M1 or more generally on macOS overall?
hdparm
does not seem to exist for macOS, nor does Homebrew have it. A VM is not an option. The last time this question was asked and answered (How to securely erase an arbitrary SATA drive, utilizing the drive firmware to do so? ) is from 2015. Are there any options since then?
