Hello,
Don't low-level format the drives just yet. I suggest one lock up the drives
in a safe, if not, take a forensic image. That way one can perform an
investigation if needed.
For the cost of a drive these days I would put it into a safe for a year
(consult a lawyer in your jurisdiction) just in case it is needed.
Regards,
