does secure erase from samsung magician make it safe to resell the ssd?

[evident]

Title says it all. Just transferred my main machine from a 128GB Samsung SSD830 to a Sandisk Extreme 240GB and probably looking to resell the old one. will doing the secure erase from samsung magician wipe all the data and make it unrecoverable, the way writing zeros using Eraser or DBAN to a physical hard drive would do?

I haven't used that software, but I do know Parted Magic will do that job. I'm sure it's just like Samsungs. http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-20115106-285/how-to-securely-erase-an-ssd-drive/

Yeah...secure erase pretty much makes it almost impossible to restore data on a SSD.
You can try it on your sammy, then run a recover utility to see what it sees.
