Is there a software emulates a SATA interface on a USB storage device, tricking Windows into recognizing the USB SSD as a SATA SSD.
Sandisk Extreme Portable is locked under bios password - dont know the password or even the computer I did this on.
I tried many methods. Found that secure erase will work on AOEMI Partition Assistant if I can make windows see the usb as a sata device.
I do not care about the data. Hate that this thing is locked. Been on the backburner of stuff do fix and was hoping to correct this issue.
Can you try running diskpart in command prompt to delete the partitions and start from new? I did this over the weekend, but I deleted everything and needed to format the drive properly on macOS’ Disk Utility. I’m sure Linux could do the same, I just didn’t go that route.

Problem is no volumes can be created. It’s locked via ata. But it’s portable drive so doesn’t show as ata in bios. So annoying
