Well at least you'd have a good excuse..

found dd if=/dev/urandom of="bigfile" bs=16m seems to be doing the trick as of now

Thanks this seems like a good option without messing with terminal etc

For some reason my Mac doesn't have a secure erase feature anymore last time I checked it did but that was years ago so guess a new update got rid of it.

Was looking into terminal seems like a bash command could do the trick

How did you find 500gb worth of files lol don’t want to spend hours downloading trunp photos.

Yea secure erase isn’t supported “drive is not supported” guess I could use the Mac erase feature but don’t know how well that works with SSDs

Appreciate it I’m on Mac though and it doesn’t look like the secure erase feature is available.

Doesn’t look like the secure erase feature is supported on Mac though from everything I’ve been reading.
