    You just do what's appropriate for the job. Scrapping is production work so there's no sense in getting bogged down with drilling & fussing with a run of the mill hard drive.

    Let's say you were doing curbco and parting out the pc's: You should be able to do do the break down in about ten minutes. From there you sell the component parts to the scrap yard.

    Take it a little further: You want to insure that the creepy guy at the junkyard isn't browsing the hard drives. It's really easy to disable the HDD before you sell it. All you have to do is run a utility knife up one side of one of the flat packs and cut the legs.

    It only takes three seconds. You don't even have to fuss with removing the board. You can sell the hard drive whole, get a better price, and do the right thing all at the same time.

    Turn -n- Burn !

    Certified data destruction is something completely different than what your average scrapper needs to worry about.
