Erasing/Wiping Solid State Drives

[James Moore <jhmiso () RIT EDU>]

This is an area where I have very little experience.  We are using
wiping utilities like Eraser (for files & directories) and Darik's Boot
and Nuke (for disks).  They do passes to overwrite data to reduce
possibilities of extracting data due to magnetic remanence.  Is there an
analog (no pun intended) for solid state drives?  Thanks.
