Hi All,
Not sure if this belongs here or in general hardware.
A mate and I were discussing about HDD warranty claims one day and we were wondering how safe is it to return a defective drive for RA (data security wise).
If a company has highly confidential information stored on a drive and it failed. Would they even return it for RA or would they just destroy the drive and replace with new drive.
I could imagine HDD companies or system vendors recieving hundreds of RA drive on a daily basis and probably wouldn't have the time to actually try and recover your data to see what's in there. But what if employees were paid off by competitors to hand over your dead drive hm... maybe we're thinking too much
Thanks for listening... or reading
