How not to securely erase a NVME drive
I got a replacement for my Samsung MZVLW256HEHP-000L7 NVMe 256GB M.2 PCI Express X4 SSD, known also simply as Samsung PM961. After replacing it with the new one, Samsung 980 1TB, I put the old one on sale.
However, my drive was NVME SSD, not SATA SSD.
This is probably what I needed - securely erase the drive, resetting the drive's cryptographic password during the process (-s2): nvme list nvme format -s2 /dev/nvme0n1
Trying the nvme format command again failed spectacularly: NVMe status: INVALID_OPCODE: The associated command opcode field in not valid(0x2001)
