Phonebooking is a pretty unethical practice to start. In my mind, it is only
justified in the case of a marginal drive that is clearly having problems,
but not overt enough to convince the manufacturer to RMA it. Phonebooking to
prevent data recovery seems unjustified--if your data is that important, you
shouldn't be sending it back to begin with.
But that's my rule--everyone else must decide what lets them still sleep at
night. :)

Phonebook it?
Put a phonebook over it to protect the drive from obvious abuse and whack
it with a hammer.
