Factory reset linux ssd


Hello!

I'm in the habit of periodically factory resetting my hardware.

What are some ways to totally erase my laptop's SSD, so that is free of GRUB, OS's, and partitions. I'd need it to be recognized and useable, but blank as though new. Could this be done with GRUB or BIOS if I knew how?

Thanks! -D
