The safest procedure for adding disks is the hot-insert. That's because the NAS can detect that the disk was inserted. So when the time comes, install the Seagate in slot 1 with the NAS powered down. Then boot it up, and hot-insert the WZEX.
Seagate's full-erase is essentially the same as write-zeros. If you are connecting with SATA, then it will use a full-erase ATA command (instead of writing zeros to every block). That does much the same thing though.
Quick erase in Lifeguard writes zeros to the beginning and the end of the drive, leaving the middle alone. That's enough to destroy the partition tables and file system.
