microwave

Take it on a plane. That's it.

obviosly a nuke.
but if you are a pleb and can't get one then use dban and overwrite 60 times.

Put everything in the recycle bin and empty recycle bin

Hammer

Magnets

Bite it

according to silicon valley u drill in it

This

Attach magnets and microwave

if youre a paranoid fuck
>open drive
>remove silicon
>smash into dust with hammer.

Buy lots of fireworks, strap them to it and boom

microwave

Yes, silicon valley!

small bits can still be recovered using an electron microscope

boot it up, choose method Gutmann wipe, choose verify last pass then choose rounds:60 or higher if you want. that should be enough but if you want to be completely safe after wipingrun a neodymium magnet over all of the pieces

...

Thanks

the plate is still magnetized, the only thing that changed is that now you can't wipe it. the only way now is to crush into a fine dust and scatter it.

Gilfoyle style

take the platters out of the enclosure and turn them in to an unrecoverable lump of melted metal by applying a high degree of heat with something like a NAP blow torch or a home-made metal foundry, which is possible to create with a trip to the hardware store and about $30 USD. you can find instructions on youtube if you search "mini metal foundry"

your literal "lump of melted metal" will be safe from any interested parties

take it apart and put in tinfoil then microwave it
after that submerge it in the sink

TronScript

you could have just not been retarded and used software that wipes the drive and rewrites over it to make it clean

Use a magnet and put it intot he oven for an hour

Still recoverable Faggot, plus the drive dident work that's why I nuked it

dump whats on it here first

60 passes is tinfoil noided tier.

2 to 4 passes with your choice of HDD wiper is sufficient enough. If you're still paranoid after that, take a strong magnet to it(or better yet a hammer, if you don't plan on using it again). Just to clarify, there are different methods of wiping drives but they all get the job done. You really shouldn't be worried about anything unless you have the launch codes or something.

It's not when it writes over it enough times that the data no longer exists you mega tard normie REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Burn it

>small bits can still be recovered using an electron microscope
If someone wants to spend many thousands of dollars and thousands of hours then yes they could potentially recover a small percentage of your midget porn collection.

In the real world unless you're being actively targeted by numerous secret agencies then a simple full format (not a quick format) is plenty to make all data effectively unrecoverable. Multiple pass methods are totally overkill.

I know it is, but you can never be too safe. also i recommended the gutmann method and said 60 rounds, not passes. each round overwrites the hard drive 35 times, so if you continued to let it run that would be 2100 passes. i usually let it run for about a week then stop it.

A single neodymium magnet

A big pile of thermite.

You're insane

He asked how to nuke a harddrive. that usually means to wipe it so well that no methods whatsoever will be able to recover it. a simple overwrite would work fine if he had a virus or wanted to give away the harddrive but to completely be sure it can't be recovered the method i said is best

Not insane, just paranoid.

I'm destroying it cos it's broke and I have nothing better to do cos I'm a Sup Forums fag

hammer

If you're that god damn paranoid then physical destruction of the platter is the only way.
The rest of us who don't have drives full of CP will just do a full format making all the data unrecoverable to anyone without a specialised lab with millions of dollars worth of equipment.

With a nuke
Or a microwave

We lost dude don't be proud

As I said I'm bored and it's broke anyway

Ahahahahahahahah yeah just found it on the table, don't like football

nice dubs OP

Smashing it into literal fragments and dust. The platters are rather fragile.

Take the platters and submerge them in an acid. I imagine that even something as dilute as "the works" bathroom cleaner will work fine. Acid destroys metal very easily, it will eat your platters into nothing.

oh man have you heard it on youtube with thomas the tank engine dubbed over it. youtube.com/watch?v=UL8DB_VaQTQ

I don't want to have to buy a new hard drive every month.

6 first number 6x2=12, thanks
