Yeah though SSDs make that even easier, with the aptly named SECURE ERASE command. Modern SSDs encrypt the contents of the drive at rest _anyway_ (transparently, using a key that's baked into the hardware) as encryption algorithms are very good at removing repeated patterns that might degrade the flash over time.
