Formatting an SSD
I have an SSD in the marketplace for sale. I'd like to prep it for sale and am not 100% sure how to format the drive. With the platter drives I've prepped I'd use Killdisk or DBAN but have read threads that mention that just writing zeros is not enough
Any suggestions? TIA.

Re: Formatting an SSD
Writing 0's is fine. I don't think you should treat erasing an SSD any differently than a conventional HDD.
