The Samsung Secure Erase utility creates a bootable USB that you can use to permanently destroy all data stored on an SSD by erasing data from all cells. This will also reset the SSD to its factory state if there are problems with performance or operation of the SSD.

Thanks @𝕎𝕚ℤ𝕒𝕣𝕕
I look forward to @mopkop and he's team to crack some life back into the drive. I'm 90% sure the drive is still great.
 
Have you tried
dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/nvmeXXXXX bs=512 count=1
(replace nvmeXXXXX as appropriate)

Samsung Secure erase is not support for this drive. I'll try @P1000 suggestion tonight. Im also creating a unix boot today

Has suggested:
Regardless of brand, if you use WDLGD to Zero format that HDD, it will remove those partitions and could even fix some bad sectors if it had any.

@Porra @mopkop

If WDLGD Version 1.36 doesn't detect it or refuses to run, let me know as I have a older version that's not available online.

1.Open DLGDIAG,
2.Accept terms on first screen and hit "Next"
3.On second screen on the top list of drives, Double click on the drive you wanna erase.
4.Double click "Erase" on next screen
5. Next 3 screen, Say Yes, OK, Yes
6. Select "Full Erase" and hit ok.

Now walk away and let it run. I have never ran a SSD through it, but a normal 500GB drive should run for about 60-75 min, depending on your PC specs.

At the end it'll show a green tick on the progress screen. It might say failed to update log or something like that when closing that screen. Don't stress, that isn't of any importance to you or the drive. If the green tick is there then it passed.

Note:
If the "Time to complete" keeps getting more, and I'm talking 12hours +, then the drive is beyond repair.
If the time start going up, it'll eventually fail and say it couldn't write a sector and that means the drive is dead.
Had a 250GB run the other day for 47 hours. It passed the test, but the health was on 9%. Keeping it just for the fun. Most robust HDD i've ever seen in my life.
