According to Erase a volume using Disk Utility on Mac, a Secure Erase is not possible with an SSD. "With a solid-state drive (SSD), secure erase options are not available in Disk Utility. For more security, consider turning on FileVault encryption when you start using your SSD drive." I suppose that I could turn on FileVault encryption on the disk and not erase it(?)
