Can't see why they would do that since HD's are so cheap and easy to come by compared to other things. Someone the size of Burst would probably have hundreds or maybe even thousands of those things lying around. So I gotta call BS on your statement.
Only reason I could see them doing that is to try get the customers data off of it. Perhaps that is what you mean't.
Maybe you should try use your brain more instead of calling everything bullshit: I obviously mean they would rip the drives out so they could put them in new servers and sell those servers to ex-VD customers with data and everything on it.
Why? Are we talking windows servers as well? Oh and if they have RAID cards then you gotta take the raid cards as well. But then what if your servers don't have PCI slots or PCI-x or whatever the raids use.
So right back at you. Did you really think that statement of yours through? We aren't talking a half dozen servers here either. I could see them maybe taking the whole server and firing it up. I think they may have mentioned that possibility.
Think of it: they got their whmcs too. And you can pull a disk from a raid 1 array while it runs ;-)
They just replied to the WHT thread:

Look at that :-()
Hello,
As you are likely aware, recently there was an issue with VolumeDrive abandoning a good portion of their servers in our facility, after defaulting on their contract us. A good portion of their servers are actually owned by a leasing company, and as it turns out, they were also in default with that vendor as well. BurstNET has already been contacted by this leasing company, and has permission to take over any of the servers left with us.
We are sending you this notice because your specific server(s) is currently located in our facility, and we are offering you the opportunity to bring the service back online directly on our network. Any server not contracted with us before September 20, 2013 will be returned to the leasing company, and at that point, any data in the server will be lost.
If you wish to have your server brought back online please open a ticket to [email protected] as soon as possible with the ServerID# you had with VolumeDrive and we will guide you in what steps you need to take to bring your server back online.
Please note that the Sales department keeps normal weekday hours of 9AM to 5PM EDT Monday to Friday so responses to your tickets may be delayed however we will be periodically checking over the weekend so we can assist you as quickly as possible.
Regards,
BurstNET
