Ways To Perform Information Destruction On Hard Drives

7.62 X 39. Though, I remember Easy talking about how much he likes to run 7.62 x 54R through his Mosin.



Seriously, though, people hit them with a hammer, drill holes in them, etc.

I take drives all the way apart, scratch the platter, and then either sell them on ebay or scrap them with aluminum

These were my thoughts. I know that may e-waste recyclers purchase hard-drive boards but what is the best way to destroy the information but still allow me to sell them? I plan on taking pics of each hard drive scrap for documentation (may be a little too much, but at least i can sleep well)

THe info isnt on the boards. Its on the disks inside. You dont need to cut the boards in half to sell the boards.
