FYI running test with this HDD connected over USB no leaked info was printed (no
false positive), but test runs very slow (10 iterations in ~5 min, it will
likely manage below the limit, but 50x slower run is just waste of time given
vast majority of testers runs tests sequentially).

Kind regards,
Petr
