We're testing it in one of our products[^]. Seagate(who now own my company) would have tested the drive itself, I'm just testing that our test software will cope with this drive inside our product and checking it accepts certain modepage settings and that it is happy with the FW we want to put on it.
We do do a CERT test which does write and read back data to random parts of the drive amongst other things. That use to last around 24hrs on 2TB drives but we're going to have modify it I think for this capacity.

Being a Seagate, somebody might notice that not all drives that have been purchased had to be returned within a few months...that would look suspicious.

I could say they broke? Or in I could start a fire?
Yeah I see what your saying...not going to work.

Depends on the speed of the drive? Also, is it in an array? Drives die, they dont always get returned to the vendor 
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Nice idea, but...it's not worth it for a couple of hundred you could get for it.
Compare that to the amount you'd lose if they found out and fired / prosecuted you...and it don;t add up.
It's only worth stealing if it means you never have to work again, and the risk is low enough...

I hope you realise that if I was in any way seriously contemplating this, the last thing I would do is post about it on a public website.

Yep.
But there are enough morons who think everything on t'interweb is true...

The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.

Having finally seen the film Up I can say that I have learned a valuable life lesson.
If you really want to have an exciting adventure and do extraordinary things...
You have to wait until your wife is dead.

Not necessarily.
All you need to do is pause for a fraction of a second before saying "NO" the the Dread Question: "Does my bum look big in this?"
For added excitement, answer "Yes" instead.
