Comment on To what extent dœs mass-overwriting files with random data wear out NAND storage ?

Bold of you to assume it’s overwritten rather than being unlinked and having the random data written to entirely different flash blocks.
If you want to rely on “overwriting” data for security, you need deterministic storage; only CMR hard drives mostly qualify (leaving aside the question of bad-block remapping).
