I'm not certain why you would want to store the hard drive of someone who 
has left.  Finding information on that hard drive is a little bit like 
finding a needle in the haystack.  You have no idea as to how the file 
structure was setup, naming conventions etc.  I would suggest that the 
owner, before they leave,  forward on any reports or documents which they 
feel may be of value to the organization and then wipe the hard drive 
clean. 

Of course, if an EDRMS is in place, I would assume the important 
information has been store there.
