Aomei Partition Assistant 6.5 Software With SSD Secure Erase Wizard

Backup service provider Aomei Technology Co, Ltd. released Partition Assistant 6.5, adding SSD Secure Erase Wizard as well as making other enhancements.

The firm’s Partition Assistant is a partition manager and disk management tool that brings many tools like Migrate OS to SSD, Convert MBR to GPT, Resize Partition, and Windows To Go Creator, etc. These features are used by millions of users and the company has made them better.

“In seconds, Aomei Partition Assistant has securely erased my Samsung SSD. I first thought it had gone wrong. When I reinstalled Windows and everything went smooth, I knew it worked. Thank you for the great freeware,” said Adam Crouse, Wilkes Barre.

SSD Secure Erase is to remove all data on SSD and reset the SSD to its manufacturer state for peak performance. After Secure Erase, the data are unrecoverable. If users want to wipe an SSD without destroying it, Secure Erase is the choice.

Those who have used SSD for several months or longer may probably notice that their SSD’s performance dropped. As it is filled with data continuously, and garbage collection was triggered increasingly until the performance dropped to an unacceptable level. In order to solve this problem, many SSD vendors provide a free utility that owns a secure erase command, but this utility is available only with their own products. If the vendor does not provide such a tool, now free partition manager – company’s Partition Assistant can perform SSD Secure Erase to reset SSD to factory performance.

To perform SSD Secure Erase, connect the SSD to a working Windows 7 computer via SATA cable. Then select SSD Secure Erase in Partition Assistant and follow the wizard to complete the process. If the SSD is in a frozen state, it needs to perform a hot swap to unlock. Usually, it only takes a fews to complete.
