You should check what "wiped" means.  If they mean "degauss" as in running the drives over a magnetic media bulk erase machine, that's equivalent to destroying them because it wipes not just the data but also the formatting.  If by "wipe" they mean simply "write zeroes or equivalent over all sectors of the drives" then things are ok.
