Wiping bad disk (prior to replacement)
G'Day
I have a Ready NAS Duo, (2 disk Raid array) after 4 months one of the Seagate 2Tb drives is returning constant SMART errors.
The shop has agreed to replace the hard drive. How do I wipe my data from one disk of the 2 disk raid array..??
If the disk was completely dead it would be no problem, but I do not want to hand over a disk with a copy of my data to the shop in usable condition..!!
Surely this isnt an unusual thing to come across, but I cant find any into to tell me how to do it.
Cheers
Rob

No, unfortunately I am moving house (and my "stuff" is in storage) ...!!
Though I agree that would be an easy way out.....
Thanks for the suggestion.
