I understand traditional methods don’t work with modern SSD, anyone knows any good way to do it?

    It actually doesn’t, because the drive won’t “let” you overwrite the reserve space. That’s why they introduced SSD secure erase, so the firmware knows that you mean to overwrite everything.

    Alternatively you could just use full disk encryption and burn the key when you are done.
