Need a Secure erase Tool for WD Blue SN580

[metabeta]

i just had a need for this tool. I checked everywhere and there doesn't seem to be a proper link to the file.

I went to WD site here : https://support-en.wd.com/app/products/downloads/softwaredownloads

It s really maddening to target which tools does  a secure erase for the NVMe drive.

I want a tool that will erase any data forever. Basically secure erase.

My mobo ( Gigabyte B450M-CF ) doesn't support tools that came with it. I know some mobo does that. Ok aside could u redirect me to the place that 

has a proper download link. If possible could u attach that file.

I would be very greatful for that. Thank u for ur time and patience.

I was actually looking for this app : Western Digital SSD Dashboard 2.6.0.0 

i m nothing a link to this tool. As though it doens't exist.

Its like perfoming low level format except in this case it is for a flash drive and not the traditional 3.5 inch internal disk

this one's discontinued. 

Newer version here: https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/western_digital_dashboard_(wd_dashboard).html

I was downloading that. Western Digital Dashboard (WD Dashboard) 3.7.2.5

Just found few tools but on installation it doesn't completely install. Then i go the place where it was installed and ran C:\Program Files (x86)\Western Digital\SSD Dashboard\Dashboard.exe

It finds the usb but doesn't completely write on the USB.It says failure creating. I need that particular tool, u see. That will remove everything from the NVme drive.

Few things i found.

Thank you @Galaktoboureko. That link helped. Actually worked. i found out that Sandisk Dashboard could create a bootable media.  and that would be compatible with WD drive too.

But i m choosing ur answer as the solution. thank u for ur time n patience.
