Ive recently bought a new Skull Canyon NUC, and an Intel 600p SSD along with it. I want to over provision the SSD prior to installing the OS, but have not found any guide or FAQ specific to this SSD, and I'm very wary, especially since I do not have another system on which the 600p can be installed. How do I over provision the drive safely before having an installed OS?

I have created a bootable USB drive, and successfully ran HDAT2 from it. It failed to recognize SMART data and failed to recognize (and therefore offer) the option of SET MAX ADDRESS, though it did recognize the proper size.

I ran Rufus 2.11.995 to create the bootable USB drive, and selected MS-DOS as the platform. I then copied hdat2exe_52.exe (downloaded directly from the developer's site) to the root directory of the drive. I am now in the process of retrying it via a Linux boot and hdparm.
