RMAing a large HDD that has pirated movies/games on it, is it necessary to completely zero the drive?
RMAing a large HDD that has pirated movies/games on it, is it necessary to completely zero the drive?
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?
