And a wipe program is "ineffective" because the wear leveling features prevents such wipe programs from writing a bunch of random 1s and 0s to each and every storage location. So a "wipe" program - that is, a program that over-writes files - is "unnecessary" because the erase/delete function used on SSDs does not leave data behind in the same manner as a hard drive for a recovery program to restore, nor does it leave residual magnetism behind that Agent 007 could read. The bigger problem, as I see it, is TRIM, overprovisioning and wear-leveling features used on SSDs will actually prevent the wipe program from touching each and every storage location on the disk - which is necessary to ensure "all" previously stored data has been obliterated.

So what? Why are you trying to secure-erase a SSD anyway - except to get rid of the drive? And even if you went to super-duper military specs and selected 256 passes. A small handful of "writes" is not going to hurt, or put excessive wear, on a SSD - even an older generation SSD. Most "wipe" programs default to 1 or maybe 3 passes.
