Not sure if this applies to all SSDs or just Indilinx-controlled drives, but can't be too cautious.
Ran CCleaner's "Wipe Free Space" function on my OCZ Vertex drives, (two 60GB Vertexes in Intel ICH10R RAID0), and about 40% through it my computer locked up. Reset and it hung at bios trying to detect one of the drives. Not the first time this has happened after extensive stress on the drive. Had to destructive-flash it and reinstall my OS as it destroyed my RAID array upon failure. Drive's running fine now.
Just a reminder/warning to _not_ run this type of thing on an (at least, Indilinx) SSD.
