Do you have any reference? 'info shred' does not warn on such a problem and even suggests that it is safe to use the command I gave on SSDs (whereas it is not safe to only write zeros):

On modern disks, a single pass should be adequate, and it will take one third the time of the default three-pass approach.
# 1 pass, write pseudo-random data; 3x faster than the default
