Erase SLC SSD

I have a Samsung 64GB SLC SSD that I need to erase ready to sell. What is the best software to do it and hopefully restore it back to near factory performance as it doesn't support TRIM.

HDDErase or the secure erase utility in PartEd Magic. Both programs will use the SSDs internal secure erase function.

SLC SSDs don't have the same performance issues as MLC SSDs do.
