Selling 2 SSDs on ebay but can't wipe them

Description of problem

I currently have 2 120gb Samung SSDs that I have listed on ebay and have not been able to successful wipe them. They have been formatted and were running in a raid 0 which I think means the info was split between them. I have not had success using the Samsung magician software because it creates a bootable usb which I can't seem to boot to. The buyer is a reputable seller should I worry about my data being stolen if I sell them.

Is there an easier to just wipe these drives from withing windows without going through the whole bootable usb step?

Other relevant info

no

When this issue began

week ago

Recurring issue

No

Cause/Steps to recreate the issue

What I've tried so far to resolve the issue

tried wiping these with the SSD software with no luck.

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
