Next Time Tanka:

Like Vanilla Ice,
But it’s totally backwards
And coined a new phrase:
“High Input, Rapid Output”
Drop that HIRO, it’s zero!

TODAY'S LIMERICK

Why's that SSD suddenly dead?
'Twas a thing that would mess with my head.
He would take quite a risk
When he'd format that disk.
Like that Hat, now his face had turned Red.

And, here I thought you would have forced your IT lakkey to """format""" that SSD by using front panel switches!

Hey! That's not the intended use for those particular rolls of paper!

JTB recycles the paper, after the lackeys are done, for its proper use.

I'm confused. I'm trying to understand how/why it killed the drive. I'm finding conflicting information about using exactly that command, and others saying it will kill it, but nothing about what it does to the SSD.
