The manufacturer requires that the faulty HDD be sent back. It’s 18 TB, so ShredOS estimates 100 hours to completely wipe the drive. I really would rather not go through that. Does anyone else have experience with this?

100 hours seems excessive. If you want to zero a drive, one pass is plenty.
Yeah I didn’t realize until you said this that the default option on ShredOS is a 3 pass… that explains the 100 hours.
