Do you have first hand knowledge of this or is this something you've just heard about? The reason I ask this is I have a friend that worked at WD in the HD manufacturing and refurbishment area a few years back. I had asked him about this very same thing. He indicated that WD had very strict quality control and he couldn't think of a way it would pass through their processes with previous data still intact. Or, maybe you're talking about cases where the drives aren't actually going back to the manufacturer? -- If you can't laugh at yourself, others will gladly oblige. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
