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 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 Secure Erase.
