You have 2 methods available to you: 1. If you aren't using your SSD as a boot drive. You can simply go into the the latest version of OCZ Toolbox, select your ssd in the first screen, go to the Secure Erase tab and hit secure erase. It will ask if you're sure etc. Say Yes. Should take approx 30secs at which point you're done. 2. If you are using your SSD as a boot drive. You either need to connect it to another operating system and follow method 1 or use LINUX Bootable Parted Magic.
