It's working, Thanks.
Tnx! It's working method!🔥👍
Thankyou soo much, the disk utility cannot fix the issue.
the commands fixed it.
It's working, Thanks. To add secure erase config, we can use it like:
sudo diskutil secureErase 4 eraseDisk exFAT sandisk128 /dev/disk9
thanks!!! you saved my day
I need your help. It seems that my 128Gig SanDisk memory card has an internal write protection on and I cant erase anything on it. My MAC disk utility wont work, the adapter security switch doesnt help, it is locked on a software side of the SD Micro card.
Can yoiu help. I use a MAC and dont have a lot of experience with the Terminal side.
unmountDisk is not required in practice, Sequoia.
Thank you, It's works.
