▲ 1 ▼ RMAing a large HDD that has pirated movies/games on it, is it necessary to completely zero the drive? (alien.top) submitted 2 years ago by silvio_dante@alien.top [B] to c/datahoarder@selfhosted.forum 29 comments fedilink hide all child comments The manufacturer requires that the faulty HDD be sent back. It's 18 TB, so ShredOS estimates 100 hours to completely wipe the drive. I really would rather not go through that. Does anyone else have experience with this?
[–] pink_sparrow@alien.top [B] 1 point 2 years ago My experience this year, I claimed on a Seagate NAS + 6 Ironwolf drives. Had a fair bit of moves/tv, they did data recovery for me as well. There was no issue & I was assured my digital content would be treated as private and confidential. permalink fedilink source
