I recall your thread about "How I Think I Bricked my SSD", which evolved over time.
That is, from an admission that you forgot to clear the ATA password before you secure erased the SSD with a third party tool, to the problem being Intel's fault.
I did not find any mention of contacting Intel support about your problem, which may have had a solution. I assume that is because as an IT professional, you felt you knew all that could be done.
I was taken aback by your description of having interns cut that SSD into pieces. An unusual lesson, as well as an example for those young people.
If someone stole your password protected SSD, and all they needed to do was secure erase it to make it functional for their own use, as you tout as superior with some other SSDs, would that be an acceptable outcome to you?
