Wiping an SSD

[hakavon]

I've got a used laptop with an SSD in it.  I'd like to wipe the drive, and re-install Windows.

 

I've heard DBAN is NOT the way to go when wiping an SSD.  Any suggestions on free wiping software I might use?

Are you selling the laptop or just reinstalling windows? There's really no reason to wipe it if you aren't getting rid of it.

I'm reinstalling Windows, but don't know the person who sold it to me so I'd rather wipe the drive.
