Your RAID reports an issue with one of the disks. You disable it and have the DC staff swap it. What happens to the disk? It might be resold. It might be put into the next server. It might land in an office drawer with a label "to be wiped".

so funny. I look below my monitor, and there rests a hard disk with "MUST WIPE" post-it on it. Thanks for the reminder.
Good point.
