Rumor has it that organisations which are serious about secrecy will just return the top plate of the drive for warranty claims and melt the rest of the drive.
Large vendors I've spoken to say those sort of people just buy new drives as replacements as they cannot release the failed drive; warrany never comes into it.
Why do you think the manufacturer requires the failed drive back in these cases? It is a perfectly acceptable arrangement for the manufacturer to trust a large organisation to destroy their own drive and to not require it back again. Even asking for the top cover or other proof is just making more trouble than it's worth. James
