The idea was to destroy the drive’s content
Yes, but since the computer is a lease, the drive is supposed to still be useable.

Details, details. It would certainly be returned because the storage device went bonkers.

Debug was not an issue with megabyte drives, but for gigabyte and terabyte drives,.....

Debug was not an issue with megabyte drives, but for gigabyte and terabyte drives,..... My early hard drives were half-height 5-1/4" 20MB MFMs, with an ISA controller card of course. By 1989 I had a 100MB drive. But it wasn't until around 1991 that I bought a 500MB full-height SCSI drive (Avid), my first drive that didn't come with a bad-sector map on a piece of paper.
That 1/2-GB drive cost me $1600 in 1991 dollars.

I bought that model for $550 with the extended warrantee, tech support, and spill/drop insurance. That seems a better deal than leasing.
