Matt,
Do you have a dog in this fight or something? The data isn't gone just
because you changed the key. It's still on the platters of the disk
until it's overwritten X times and can't be forensically retrieved.
Thanks,
Mark

In the future, when you replace these disks you may want to opt for the new self-encrypting disk drives. It makes these discussions of disk wiping a thing of the past.
Instead you simple change the drive encryption key before handing them in for warranty replacement or for sale and all data on the drive is rendered useless.
