And why exactly is the bare storage of these not encrypted? I would expect, at the very least, that the data is encrypted using customer-specific keys.

The article doesn't say whether the disk was encrypted or not. Where did you find this info?

If it was encrypted, then the news wouldn't be about someone recovering a quick formatted partition. It would be about someone breaking encryption.

So we can conclude that it was not. If the disk was encrypted (with decent passphrase/key) there is 0% chance that the article wouldn't mention it.

They also wouldn't have bothered to get the disk back from the YouTuber. Why would they if the data is unreadable anyway?
