- h2odragon 3y agodoesn't even have to be DRM, just "media mapping" where its adjusting tot he individual platters and such. like factory low-level format stuff. I don't know how complex HDDs have got, but I recall giggling at someone installing linux on an HDD controller board several years ago. So I bet its much worse now.
