It's a good idea to keep your important data where privacy matters separate from all the other stuff you collect. E.g. keep your documents and private photos and their backups on separate (smaller, cheaper to replace) devices. In worst case you can sacrifice.
Keep the less important data that needs all the space (erm. those Linux ISOs) on the larger expensive disks. If you send those in, in case a replacement is required, then it probably won't matter too much if someone must snoop over it (unless it's too much of the dirty Linux ISOs) :)
Aka have clear device-level separations between any sort of media collections and your critical data.
