Could you build this?

Partial Overwriting files is vibe-codeable, but true secure erase on SSDs and modern storage needs low-level device commands that vibe coding alone won't get right.

What it would actually take: Basic multi-pass overwrite and UI can be built with standard Windows file APIs. Real secure erase needs raw disk access, ATA Secure Erase or NVMe Sanitize commands, awareness of wear leveling and over-provisioning, and verification tooling. Storage-firmware expertise is needed to make those guarantees credible.
