Hard drives on backorder for two years as AI data ...
Why rewrite the same 1MB chunk, instead of making new random chunks?
Redundant data at least opens the possibility that the drive could deduplicate.

Pretty sure most modern computers can generate random data faster than they can write to a disc.
