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?
