Hi Heinz,
I agree. The field, by it's very nature, has varying levels of paranoia (rightly so as we are seeing these days) and this level is more than what I need for my purposes so I can save some time by not having to send random data to all of the drives during the build process.

Maybe. I think the practical effects are negligible. With the first
minutes of use of such a disk, temporary files get written to it,
files get deleted, new ones get written and old stuff gets
overwritten. If the encryption is secure, all that doesn't really
matter.
