Hello friends

I want to give my 1Tb disk to seagate for RMA , which has bad sectors. generally local support is equiped with seagate repair tools so they refurbish it and return same disk.
I want to make disk non detectable so that i will get new disk.Can someone suggest few commands to crash firmware and make it dead forever?

I am sure Seagate will be able to tell difference between generic HDD failure, and malicious damage.

I am sure your HDD will be replaced with new HDD, and not refurbished to you.

I dont think seagate has time to check each and every failed disk. Besides its my right to get product replaced rather to get refurbed.

you can use a hammer and click it when the disk is spining.

or you can drop it when he is spining.

You will get refurbished disk as RMA one. And it will not be the same drive you sent

After careful analysis of posts on this forum, it seems that the following command will eventually cause 7200.11 to die:

Well that does happen when logistics require it. If your living in Uganda and need your drive RMA'd your likely to be the only person in Uganda with a Seagate hard drive :lol: so you will get the same one back... Seagate/Samsung/Toshiba service each main area but smaller countries are self sufficient with a small franchised service cntr IMHO
