Yikes. The chips did not even have the decency to die - just trashed my data after working fine for the first bank.
Pure evil.
Knowing what I know from my security & robotics days, I had to either chip it, or get a refund. Times being what they are, we opted for the cash back.
Yet using `dd` and /dev/urandom would have taken days (~150 GB / day!)
So we updated ye olde 'Piranha wipe to gen the files - one group per PID.
Took three 'fish' a few hours to trash 400GB - (odd number of K - yet another sign that the card was untrustworthy!)
Thought I would share the code.
Enjoy the journey,
