What is the best tool to wipe free space on Intel G1 SSD?

[Glenn]

I have a couple of G2 Intel drives and use Intel's toolbox to keep them up, but I just picked up one of the 80gig X18m G1/Dane Electric drives from the NewEgg deal. I plan to use this in a notebook by itself and I'm wondering what is the best way to clean the free space occasionally to keep the performance up since it doesn't have trim.

Any experiences or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

you can't. you can reset the drive to new like state, but that causes it to lose all current data.

that being said, the speed will not degrade infinitely, it will just drop some and then level off. (going up and down randomly but coming back to the same average value).
it will still be a lot faster than a spindle disk.

there are some programs out there that claim to do trim equivalent to drives without trim, but they suck. Don't bother with them.

Ccleaner & AS Clean.exe will 'wipe' free space, and speedup the drives.
I've found my two G1's perform very well, even after months of not wiping them.
AS SSD shows performance falling fairly quickly after a wipe, but I've never noticed it in actual use. The G1's are great drives!
