DBAN would do it

e: It seems DBAN is not so good for SSDs wear and tech wise, Parted Magic secure erase would be the ticket

There are some ISO's out there with bootable CD images which come with secure wipe utilities amongst other stuff which is useful to have. A quick google should see you right.
