That shit can be tracked.

Uhhh... No it can't if you don't connect it to the internet? Kinda like how Dominion voting machines were not supposed to be.

Even if the thing had a gps in it, it's not like you can't make a situation work, cover it in material that can block the signal. Then remove the gps.

All I'm getting at is whoever is smart enough to handle the hard drive will know better than to do anything that would let them be tracked.

Uhhhh, that’s not true. Micro GPS has been used commercially for a very long time. Even for little people. It can operate independently of the computers system. https://trackimo.com/micro-gps-tracking-chips/

Go to a concrete building and it will block any signal the GPS would be able to emit.

Not many frequencies penetrate concrete walls, this definitely includes GPS otherwise we could use satellites to "see" thru buildings like X-ray and the like (which are very very very small wave forms/ which are high frequencies - High frequencies' are high energy & low range)

Source: Cell signal booster designer - I work with frequencies and cell phones and this general principle all day. It's not too hard to research how to effectively block GPS. Even a jammer would do it, which just throws all frequencies within the range of the type of signal at random intervals covering the spectrum which doesn't allow any useful data to pass thru as it comes in as a garbled mess.
