Proper way to clear Intel SSD X-25M

[gavel]

What is the proper way to clear or format an Intel SSD ?

Installed the OS once, but I want to install again "clean"..

Thanks,

Delete the current partition from win 7 setup, then format.....

Well, you used to have to do an HDDErase, but with TRIM available now, it should be as simple and formatting and perhaps running the toolbox once after.

Clear all partition and then format it.

What's the best utility for wiping an Intel SSD? DBAN?

No need to do anything special anymore.

Point the install to the drive and it will do the formatting and everything else itself.

Once on the desktop, run the SSD Toolbox and your system is TRIMed.
