RMAing a large HDD that has pirated movies/games on it, is it necessary to completely zero the drive? in c/[email protected]

Yeah, this is the rational line of thinking honestly. I just overly worry.

Yeah I didn't realize until you said this that the default option on ShredOS is a 3 pass... that explains the 100 hours.

Oops you're right, my bad!

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?
