Yes except for the one in the middle left, its still fairly intact
Using a powerdrill straight though the disk platters is much more efficient
Also WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING TO THOSE POOR DRIVES?

Roommate has my goddamn drill. Smashing them with a big ball peen hammer

Charcoal aluminum forge
Lump wood charcoal and a hairdryer to feed it air can liquidize alluminium HDD platters
Easily hits 1100°
Even better, do it while its connected to a running machine for cool speccy posts

Yea for dumpster diving DeMarcus. NSA puppets Sandeep and Ali will still push your shit in.

Should I even ask why you need to know this?

this, hard drives have a small hole on the top (label side) made for punching a drillbit through.

Obliterates the platters and it's pretty fun desu.

Microwave them.

They probably had it coming.

Hello Crooked Hillary's staff

I think that little hole is technically to allow the air pressure to equalize, but it does make a good drill bit guide.

That's all they need to prevent desu

Throw 'em in a metal container with gasoline/oil and roast 'em. Bashin' ain't enough.

Eat them

Thermite if you are afraid of getting your CP found

You need to remove the platters, stick them in a plastic bag, then smash them. Take those pieces and flush them down two different public toilets. After that just burn the controller boards with a lighter and dispose of them in a dumpster. This is how you get rid of data.

NO! in the future there will be technology to recover your dick pics

you must punch hole in it like data centers do

isn't like dban enough really?

microwave the platters

but literally ive never had anything on a harddrive past games so im not really one to know

i remember a program and did 36 passes on the drive years ago but guess thats not any good now. gutterman method or something.

a punch and hammer or screwdriver would 4sure put a hole in it. for those without a power drill

Bought a bunch of used PCs from KPMG.
Each HD had a 3/8" drill hole through the platters.
Nobody told me. Tears of blood when I got them home.

here's how I genuinely do it when I do my bi yearly hard drive swap
>peel stickers and burn
>open cases
>boil the platters
>drill the platters
>rip off the little fucking pcbs
>drill them
>bury them in woods a
>bury platters in woods b

incase anyone is wondering why I do a biyearly swap I have active and archival drives, swapping them out lowers the risk of failure

Thermite them.

No Imran Arwan, it wasn't good enough. You did a shit job and your anus is going to pay for it in PMITA jail

>inducing failure reduces the risk of failure

no, replacing hard drives before they fail does

That's fucking stupid. Just use a proper RAID set up.

never really looked into raid, I mirror all my drives if that's what it is so two copies of every piece of data then hard drives replaced bi yearly

>>bury them in woods a
>>bury platters in woods b
Why not just put them in the recycling bin?

slim chance people go through my rubbish

Nah. You should go full thermite on those bitches. Post vidya.

>accounting firm

Drill a hole

If you are worried about others accessing your data then why didn't you encrypt them? Smashing them and drilling and lighting them on fire is fun (and possibly therapeutic). But encryption is the best solution to the problem.

Of course that isn't going to help you now.

>rip off the little fucking pcbs
>drill them
Why would you need to? Waste of time and you could resell them, depending on the brand.

No Debbie, you're still going to prison

They were all damaged already

Makes sense.

Drill baby, drill!

You know, you might corrupt some data but that is still HIGHLY recoverable to any major intelligence agency. You should have encrypted them before busting them, or re-write them with something. And if you're gonna physically bust a disk you better to it plate by plate.

No, you need to SHRED the drives

Trigger warning for us data hoarders next time please.

Will the garbage man be able to recover data? Because that's all that matters

...

Depends if the garbage man is an undercover agent or not.

Exactly. It depends on who you are trying to stop from snooping.

FDE or stuff like Dban will stop a casual from getting your data but a government agency has better tools and resources to recover that information.

Physically destroying the platters is the only way to be 100% sure the data is gone.

Wipe them with a cloth

Not for a Sith.
This is my apprentice, Darth FBI. He will find your lost data.

>bury them in woods
what did the environment do to you

allow me to live

then why are you polluting it

That was my reason for hating it

I chuckled

wish I remember what that felt like
