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?

    I wouldn’t worry personally. I sent a 16tb Iron Wolf to Seagate that shit the bed. It exclusively had pirated movies/shows/games. The free recovery didn’t pull anything, so they just sent me a new drive instead.
