Call them up and see if they do data destruction on faulty drives.

Ah, nice one, I wondered if there was something like this, cheers

But you've got the same problem then Shirely?

You're trusting the company will destroy the data without first retrieving it.

If you just want to knacker the thing beyond all repair, do a couple of proper overwrites on it and then smash it to bits with a hammer.
