I'm well aware of PartedMagic but I do not want to have to burn and then boot up a LiveCD every time I need to secure-wipe an SSD. I know I can't use KillDisk to properly kill the disk due to the algorithm SSDs use to write data. Kingston's "KingstonSSDToolbox" application however does not detect my drive since it's external, so it's useless. Some manufacturers have per-mfg utilities that include an ATA Secure Erase function for their specific brand of drives. I have two Kingston SSDs that I would like to secure-erase, connected to my computer via a SATA->USB interface (I also have the option of using an e-SATA port). How do I secure erase an external SSD without booting into a PartedMagic LiveCD environment? Is there an application that can ATA Secure Erase any SSD from within a running Windows environment yet?
