    Hynix 512G NVME system drive: Which software to secure erase?


    New Acer A515-54-749U laptop has a Hynix 512G NVME drive.
    I want to clean it out before I reinstall an OS and from what I've read it's best to use an app that employs the voltage spike method (block erase?).
    Many of the NVME manufacturers seem to have created their own specialized software for this purpose - ie, Samsung Magician - but I don't know of anything made by Hynix.
    Would a generic app like Parted Magic do the job?

    If you are going to keep and use the SSD the simple diskpart, clean command would be sufficient.
