It is good to be able to convict the kiddie porn collector who managed to hit delete before the police busted down the door.

It also means that you had better be careful about bargain hard drives... :-)
Come to think about it, you had better be careful about the drives that come from the factories, too... I read, one time (even though this isn’t hard drive) that a factory that made the iPhones had an employee that put her picture on the iPhones, in a hidden area. It was discovered after it got out to the public.
Can you imagine what would happen to a bunch of factory hard drives that had a couple of “pictures” loaded in some hidden area of the drive... Hooo-boy!
