I've not seen this command line format, and not sure it is valid. I've
always used:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc

Also, can you confirm that this command completed successfully. If it
failed to zero to the end of the disk, then there may still be some
metadata available at the end of the disk.

Failing this, you would need to wait for someone else more knowledgeable
than me to comment.

Regards,
Adam
