Had a batch of 7 new Samsung T7 SSDs that I wanted to zero out.

Used EnCase to erase and used HxD to verify zero using Checksum-64. FAILED

Used Active Kill Disk to erase and used HxD to verify zero using Checksum-64. FAILED

Used Disk Part, Clean All to erase and used HxD to verify zero using Checksum-64, SUCCESS

Has anyone else encountered this issue using these tools or SSDs?
