Please follow the Standard Litany when asking a question:
• What was your environment? What was your operating system, configuration?
• What did you do? What did you run or test? Where?
• What actually happened? What were the exact results, complete log contents, exact error messages?
• What did you expect? What were you aiming to achieve? What result were you looking for?

Vague or superficial questions will yield vague or superficial answers. False information leads to false solutions.

ssd's have limited writes
tho it may be large
but youre still wasting it by zeroing
it's better to just discard the data instead

plucky breach
#

with blkdiscard

wheat lodge
#

or a secure erase if your ssd supports it

fair quail
#

It's frozen

plucky breach
