Reclye Drobo Drive

[neomac]

I have a Drobo and recently removed one of the drives for use in a computer that I need to expand storage capacity on.

How do I reformat the now removed drive? Drobo uses what they call "BeyondRaid" for formatting and I cant find anything on how to reformat a drive once removed from a Drobo device. Drobo documentation does say its possible however.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

grab disk utilities from the drive's manufacturer and write a few 0's here and there to the drive, should be quite simple
