Erasing internal mSATA SSD on Intel NUC (DC3217IYE) by powercycling the mSATA SSD

You need to powercycle internal mSATA SSD to perform secure erase, while the NUC is powered on. Here's how to do it:

  1. Turn on the NUC power and boot the OS (preferably Linux).
  2. Open the bottom cover.
  3. Remove the small screw which holds the mSATA SSD board. This will make the board flip up.
  4. Carefully remove the SSD board from the mSATA connector.
  5. Wait for a few seconds.
  6. Carefully insert the SSD board to the mSATA connector.
  7. Fix the SSD board with the small screw again.
  8. Check if the SSD is not in the frozen state by hdparm -I command on the Linux tool.
  9. Close the bottom cover.
