Known issues:
- Certain NVMe drives may not be detected when using Drive Eraser 7.7.0. The problem is visible on certain Apple machines (e.g., T2 devices) but other (older) NVMes are being affected by this issue as well.
- The workaround is to use Drive Eraser 7.6.0 or in case of Apple devices erase them using the alternative solutions such as Blancco Eraser for Apple Devices or Drive Eraser for Mac.
