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?

    You should always zero a drive, if you can before sending back.

    If a drive ever has sensitive data and you can’t zero it, you shouldn’t ever return it.
