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?
You must log in or register to comment.
shredor alternatively you can zero out all the bytes in a drive withdd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/<DRIVE>
