Erase Drive (WD Black)
Erase Drive permanently destroys all user data on the selected SSD. This function
currently only supports WD Black PCIe SSD, and it will not be visible unless a WD
Black PCIe SSD is connected and detected by the Western Digital SSD Dashboard
software.
Note:
Erase Drive deletes the mapping table on the selected SSD, but it does
not erase all blocks that have been written to.
