Frankly, I use the Diskpart "Clean ALL" command so have not run Secure Erase from the Toolbox, but do notice it is there.

I would expect you could break your RAID down and run it from one of them, both on the drive with Toolbox installed and on the other 80GB. However I will admit I don't know the first thing about RAID arrays.

Intel SSD toolbox has a Secure Erase function embedded in it. It will only work on Intel SSDs but you obviously qualify.

If you can see it in BIOS or OS you likely can recover it. However if not you can't really get at it to restore it.

Have you tried Diskpart from an administrator command line? Of course if it doesn't appear in BIOS or the OS it won't appear there either.
