What I'm saying is that once your drive is returned, you have no idea who's refurbishing it. It could be a 3rd party that's sub-contracted, a temp worker, or they could be donated to tech schools...

If you're going to return it can't you just write the whole thing with zeroes? Do it twice if you're paranoid, there's no way anyone is recovering anything significant after that.

How are you going to overwrite a drive with DBAN or anything else if the drive has crashed and can't be detected by an OS? Your comment that this thread is ridiculous is absurd. What I think is...

Except that cracking them open to get the "NAS-friendly drive inside" voids ALL warranties.

Yes.. thats why YMMV. If you can get your store to price match. At 179.99 it might not be that great a deal. My post is a deal if you can get those for 159.99 else pl. dont buy.

Even if you create a tiny 1 gig partition to hold data files. or just a few folders that contain 50 mb, that's too much information to return a drive. Sooner or later, a user is going to backup a...

Yeah because we are going to need 4tb of data to backup the stuff you are talking about. Give me a break. You aren't going to need or use a 4tb drive for that. You can dedicate a smaller drive...

I would hope a stranger that acquires family photos of mine from a returned hard drive uses the material to diddle themselves in the dark while listening to the bruce willis album.
