Are you booting from a Live CD/USB-Stick?



You can only use ATA Secure Erase when the drives are unmounted.



But this SG_IO error usually appears when the drive is in the frozen security state.



Check with "sudo hdparm -I /dev/sdX" (use correct letter for X).



It must say "not frozen", if it says "frozen" then just suspend your PC with this command:



"sudo systemctl suspend", your PC will turn off, wake it up again with pressing the space key, if that doesn't work press the power button once.



Now the SSD shouldn't be frozen anymore.
