New USB HDD: Please help!

Harisfromcyber:

If you are on Linux, I would just use wipe it completely (I use sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdX iflag=nocache oflag=direct bs=4096 but you don’t have to), put LUKS(v2) on the ext4 filesystem and ship it off to them.

I appreciate your reply!

The Seagate Toolkit seems like it can do more harm than good so I’m deleting it…
