Does anyone know what program to use to secure erase (write 0s) to a SSD? I tried using DBAN on Ultimate Boot CD and it said that DBAN failed because of bad sectors. I know this isn't the case because it works fine, all the SMART data is good, and it's brand new.

Is there another program I have to use?

You can give the secure erase command with either HDDErase or hdparm.
