Need to overwrite lots data (talkin ≳100 GB) using some thing like Extirpater in hopes it all can't be recovered . Hoping some one here will have knowledge whether this's safe for me to do as it's not really explained tꝏ well in provided link !

EDIT : Asked this in a discord the answer I got was that any phone NAND should take a few times it's full capacity in read write just fine as long's you're not doing it tꝏ often , so guess that means I'm in the clear ?
