Hey NicekillBG,
 
SSDs that have other OS versions on them usually take longer to format. I would, however, check the S.M.A.R.T. status of that drive to make sure your data would be safe there with no risk of losing it. 
A simple format is usually enough to delete the partition table and for the storage drive to appear empty for the OS and the new data to be written over the old one.
