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?
Recently had a Seagate Ironwolf fail in its first couple months, it had 10Tb of my personal Blu-ray movie backup archive on it. They recovered it and sent it back on an external drive for free. Nobody cares
