[Gabriel Caicedo] "Thanks for the response Jeff, by "wiped" I mean, they transfer the media over to the edit system and erase the media files from the drive, no reformatting."
Not reformatting the drives can leave proceedural files, invisible to the user, that are used by the units OS that help determine blocks, sectors and system files that are unique, by not clearing those files the units often hang on the conflicting information to the OS.
