RMA it and sell it
Brilliant idea, my dear Watson.
Btw, for rma, do hdds need 300 reallocated sectors regardless of capacity ?
How do I damage a HDD intentionally?

Don't sell a broken HDD to a tech savvy seller, first thing he might see is SMART
I for one am going to break it good, rma it and then sell it.

Probably I will do the same thing.
300 counts is tough target. When do you plan to execute your 'trash the hdd' plan ?

I'll probably get the drive tomorrow, then brick it by next week.

Mine's 500GB too, 7200.11, 3500620AS, now they won't answer that, as they themself does not know it, but it must fail seatool, google it.
I read its 300 in a forum.

Update guys:
I went to seagate today, the guy gave my hdd back, then I gave him a mouthful, called out the technician, explained my issue to him, he kept mumbling about Seatools, then he did a stupid thing, he plugged it in and ran seatools, for some reason it failed this time and with a massive sound, maybe platter crashed due to all that moving around, got a new HDD as a replacement on the spot

You Should Connect the Harddisk power cable exactly opposite it was connected. Then it will be short Circuited and will be dead..I did also that unknowingly and got my seagate Harddisk Replaced.......
You have Successfully Destroyed Your Harddisk..Congrats
