been reading online and i understand half of the forum threads i've read.

I'm just trying to format my SSD to install windows for my new computer

halp

so there's no need for secure erase?

can anyone explain what it's used for?

just format it in the windows installer

select custom (advanced) or whatever during installation and you can manage your disks
