How to wipe my ssd completely

How to wipe my ssd completely where it's impossible to get any kind of data without actually having to destroy it physically?
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help.

If you have a spare HDD in hand, you can:

- Mount a the spare HDD in your computer.
- Get a USB with Linux Mint or some OS on it
- Plug the USB into the computer and boot from the USB
- On the USB-booted operating system, try finding something called 'Disks'. I recommend "GNOME Disks Utility".
- Select the HDD mount it.
- Find the SSD on the GNOME Disks Utility tool or something.
- Format it.

I've only done this a couple times, but you can then add an encrypted password for the SSD on bootup.

<3 Hope this helps man.

Personally i would just use DBAN on the hard drive, it will wipe it
Try Ashampoo WinOptimizer
Monetizing the World

I never deal off-site

(except Autobuy)
I agree with _Digitial_, I'd use Dban too to erase all datas.

Any idea how to get Blancco Drive Eraser[Dban] the premium version? for free if it's cracked anywhere or if there's any keys because i can't find any at all.

Cracked software / warez / illegal software discussion is not permitted on HF. DBAN is free and one of the best options available anyways.
