maybe "hdparm security erase" is an option (don't know if disk content is afterwards still recoverable)

It works with spinning drives too. At least bother of my Samsung drives are supported. (time: 500 GB 112 min)
I'm not quit sure, but I mean I did "security erase" with one of the Samsung HDD tools too - Samsung HDD Utility(HUTIL ? or - Samsung ESTOOL ?)
Also, I got a "security erase" option in my Bios (MSI B250-PC-MATE mainboard)
another tool: hdat2 https://www.hdat2.com/
