How to wipe an SSD that was previously used in raid for stand-alone use

[soulreaper571]

I recently bought an Acer Predator 15 gaming laptop. It came with 2 128 GB ssds in raid configuration. I have replaced them with a single 500gb SSD and was wanting to use one of these sticks for individual use but windows will not let me format or do anything with that drive. Any advice on how to get this to work would be appreciated. I'd rather not spend a couple hundred extra dollars on an additional SSD

Try using the system's diskpart routine to 'clean' the drive.

command prompt (as admin)
diskpart
list disk
select disk x (where x is the ssd you want to fix)
clean
exit
exit

Be sure you select the correct drive so you don't clean the wrong one.

soulreaper571, diskpart is one way of doing it but wanted to let you know that there is a low level format option as well. It all depends on you preference and level of formatting you want done. This can be done with Seatools.
