Therefore, it is highly recommended that you familiarize yourself with these Secure Erase instructions before executing a Secure Erase.

NOTE: The Secure Erase feature is not mandatory and is only for those who wish to either permanently delete the data on their SSD or restore the original out-of-the-box performance of their SSD. Therefore, it is up to the user whether or not to execute the Secure Erase feature.
