hard drive - Seagate SSHD "erase"

I have a 500GB Seagate SSHD.


Since I want to sell this drive I wonder if there is any way to securely "erase" all of its contents so that nobody can recover them. Like overwrite erase on a regular HDD.


I tried it by erase and secure erase it with the SeaTools software directly by Seagate but it says Overwrite erase - Failed.


The drive is also connected via USB 3.0. It is not possible to connect it directly via SATA in my setup.


Can you help me?
