Short answer: For the drive, it is safe if you use correct settings. For your PC, it is safe because it is portable.
Long answer: The primary risk is misconfiguration. If you accidentally select the wrong NAND timing or the wrong ECC (Error Correction Code) setting, you can permanently brick the controller. Additionally, counterfeit USB drives often have "fake capacity" (e.g., an 8GB chip programmed to report 128GB). MPTOOLS will reveal the true capacity, which may be frustrating if you bought a counterfeit drive.
Security Note: Because MPTOOLS runs at a kernel level (to access the USB controller directly), you should only download the portable version from reputable hardware forums like USBDev.ru, MyDigitalLife, or FlashBoot.ru. Random EXE files claiming to be "FirstChip CHIPYC2019 MPTOOLS Portable" may contain malware. firstchip chipyc2019 mptools portable
