I have a Seagate Expansion 4TB Hard Drive. It was making some weird noises probably due to head not working properly and then after some time stopped showing up in my computer.

So, I applied for a replacement and they accepted my replacement as it was under warranty. But as the drive is not connected to PC I'm not able to format it.

I am a bit worried about it. What to do? Do they check for the stored content on my drive or just format it before proceeding with anything.

I am worried about my data privacy not data as I have backup of data.

Please help.
