DBAN

Is there any newer alternatives to DBAN?

It's always worked just great for me, but it doesn't seem to have been updated since 2015, so I'd be worried that it might not cope with more modern storage (eg NVMe). What about using the Secure Erase ATA command (eg this)?

I'd be interested to hear other commeter's opinions.
