ASUS Secure Erase
SSD speed performance may degrade over time due to accumulated files and frequent data-
writing. Secure Erase completely cleans your SSD and restores it to factory default settings.
Ensure that you run Secure Erase on a compatible SSD. Running Secure Erase on an
incompatible SSD will render the SSD totally unusable.
• The time to erase the contents of your SSD may take a while depending on its size.
Do not turn off the system during the process.
• For the list of Secure Erase-compatible SSDs, visit the ASUS Support site at
www.asus.com/support.

Status definition:
• Frozen. The frozen state is the result of a BIOS protective measure. The BIOS guards
drives that do not have password protection by freezing them prior to booting. If the
drive is frozen, a power off or hard reset of your PC must be performed to proceed
with the ASUS Secure Erase.
• Locked. SSDs might be locked if the Secure Erase process is either incomplete or
was stopped. This may be due to a third party software that uses a different password
defined by ASUS. You have to unlock the SSD in the software before proceeding with
ASUS Secure Erase.

Flash.
