A Qnap NAS has a drive with some bad sectors, I want to RMA it, but before just want to figure out how to prepare a drive? It’s part of a raid 5 setup of 4 drives unencrypted. So I want to remove it and wipe it. Got a Linux machine I can use, but never done this before.
What are common Linux tools to do that sensibly?
Yeah my first thought was just keep running dd commands, and sooner or later you’ll have the hdd wiped.
Instructions unclear, accidentally deleted 200 EB of irrecoverable NASA data.
