How can I clean a ZIP (PATA) SSD

[btaki]

I have a Sandisk U5000 32gb SSD that's running very slow on a Dell Latitude XT, I need to wipe the cells clean to restore it, Does anyone know of any utilities that'll do that?

Thanks.

Sandisk usually provides utilities for these things. But if not...

I don't think there is anything a user can do. Maybe use a format utility (HP has one) that will align the file system cluster around 16 or 32 sector boundary, then zero out the entire drive from beginning to the end?
