I think that you really don't want to rewrite SSDs. As I understand the
wear-leveling technology, it's unlikely that you'll write the same
sector/block that you read. Basically Heraclitus and rivers.

Hmmm.. I wonder if there is a program akin to
Spinrite that will do
that on SSDs (i.e. reread and rewrite every byte). I know Steve Gibson
is working on a new version of Spinrite that will work with SSDs so
that could be the solution when it comes out...
If you just need READ, and not WRITE, howzbout COPY *.* NUL
actually
XCOPY *.* NUL /S/E
to include subdirectories
