Samsung Secure Erase (SSD)

[excop1]

Hi there!

I currently own a Samsung 840 Evo 250GB SSD disk, and I'm wondering if it's safe to secure erase it every time you install fresh windows? Some say it's not healthy for the disk or it can even damage it but some say that you can do it as many times as you want.

Any thought on that? I really don't know what to do when reinstalling windows..

I think it is not an problem to use secure erase before installing an OS.Withourt secure erase somtime it iws not possible to reinstall windows.

I'm scared that I will brick the disk :/ does it really take effect on the life span of the disk? I'm so confused about that..
