How can I completely erase an SSD for use as a non-boot drive?

[AuGZA]

I decided to buy a new laptop, however I want to be able to use my old laptop's Primary SSD as a secondary hardrive in the new laptop.

What is the best way to completely erase all the data (including windows 7 install) on my old SSD?

Thank you in advance

Create a Parted Magic boot CD. Boot it and use Secure Erase to wipe the SSD. Do not zero-write or DBAN the SSD, the controller will make doing so a moot gesture.

Most Ssd vendors have a tool called secure erase it completely wipes an Ssd. I would used google to see if someone makes a boot disk that as that on it.
