While this guide is for Gen 1 OCZ owners, the idea behind it means it should work for any SSD. Just make sure to follow directions exactly so you don't end up waisting write cycles.

The software for this is called Tony-Trim.

I used it on my G1s and it worked well but I have read negative reports about it.

Edit.......SicKlown beat me to it.

I would not use these utilities; they only fill up the mapping tables.

Do a secure erase and over-provision your SSD, by creating a smaller partition than the full capacity, and not using the unpartitioned unallocated space.
