If it's really an issue where "if the data on this SSD falls into the wrong hands, lives will be ruined" sort of thing, my favorite data security tool for this job is a bench grinder. Difficult to put the data back together when the flash chips are powder scattered throughout 14 different shop surfaces and at least two lungs.
Be careful with lung butter though. Been betrayed before
I prefer thermite. Recover my data from a messy contaminated slag heap.
