> drive I bought on Amazon was actually a used Backblaze drive

Assuming this is true, I find it weird/surprising that Backblaze doesn't at least zero their drives before disposing of them? I have to do that at my work, and at least by policy I could lose my job if I skipped doing it.

I find it more weird that they don't use encrypted storage, then you don't nee to bother with zeroing drives. You only need to 'forget' the key.
