It lists what the reviewer used and did to wipe the Intel X25-M. Especially, the older version does not work. The page lists a download link to a version below which does work with the X25-M.
Hope this is of help.
Note just in case: by using HDDErase it does exactly that: wipe all data; or actually the special mapping areas (HPA) that keep track of where data is actually being stored on the SSD. With this information wiped, the drive is like as it left the factory, just with some random data on the surface but with 100% performance level.
Using the new firmware available for X25-M, the issue of degrading performance is pretty much fixed. So usage of HDDErase is not really required, though it can be useful and the suggestion of windows using it whenever formatting a disk is a good one, because that would also reset the drive's performance level to factory conditions.
