I feel like i've been googling and scouring asus support sites for an hour looking for the list of ssds that have been tested with the new secure erase feature on ROG motherboards. Can't find the list anywhere. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Specifically I want to know if it is safe to use on a Kingston SSDNow v200. Any help would be much appreciated!

I took a chance. Its fine.


****IMPORTANT FYI.
Make sure you unplug all drives, before using Secure Erase function. Including your cd/dvd/ or blu ray.

My dvd (2007) died at the same time I used Secure Erase. Yes I had a disk in it. I was doing a image back up. The disk came out spinning, and a red light was on the psu.


What board were you using? I've got a hero vii, and it says 830 series and 840 pro series but nothing about the 840 evo, or at least it's not listed.

Hi, I can't seem to find this location on the Asus.com website. Would it be possible to post a link please?
