I have been using DBAN for many years. I have encountered the missing driver error before, and will usually go find a manufacturer tool to secure erase a disk or reset cryptographic key. in this case, the manufacturer (Lenovo) does not support their own secure erase tool on this device, and the bios built in utility is failing without providing an error.
I have used DBAN 2.3.0 and my usual fallback 2.2.8 without success. I have tried running autonuke as this sometimes works, also without success. I hope you can help.
The drive does work, and was running windows without difficulty. It passed extended diagnostic tests.
system details:
Lenovo Model: 0013US (M910Q)
Machine Type: 10MV
CPU: I7 7700
MEMORY: 16GB
DRIVE: WESTERN DIGITAL PC SN720 NVME SSD OPAL

I would suggest you use ShredOS (fork of DBAN/dwipe) as it's maintained and uses a recent kernel and drivers for modern hardware. https://github.com/PartialVolume/shredos.x86_64
This solution works great in this case. Thanks for your helpful response.
