You should melt it down now
Dip it in sulfuric acid
Weld a few magnets onto it for good measure.
Throw it off a tall building then run over it with a tank. Always best to be safe than sorry.
Make a bon fire and throw it in there
If you got a blowtorch handy you can be extra sure its all gone in about 1 minute.
“Financial records….of minors….in a pool”
Something tells me there’s more than “financial records” on there
depends what is on it. “old financial records” ….
I can still see porn
Dude. A single piece of dust can be enough to scratch a platter beyond repair (by amateurs).
There is NO WAY that it’s only “financial records” on there…
I use to work in computer repair and data recovery. Yeah. That’s good enough
Is this diddy?
P diddy be like
When I was but a young sysadmin and fresh out of university, my boss at the time pulled me away from the helpdesk one day for a simple task. It involved 200 hard drives, and a hammer.
It’s been 20 years and I still remember that day fondly.
Burn it it’s not worth saving.
Build a rocket, send it to the sun.
Now eat it
Nuke it from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure.
Next time use [DBAN](https://dban.org/) instead of destoying a drive that could have been re-purposed.
Also unless the FBI Party Van is pulling up in your driveway I’m pretty sure no one cared about your pr0n collection that much.
My grandfather who worked on the newer tech of his time, got a call similar to your problem from his younger brother, who needed to destroy military secrets (allegedly). My grandfather told him to, “run it over with a tank, and use a flamethrower on what’s left”
no
Realistically one drill hole is sufficient to secure most data. Only governments and financial companies take drive shredding seriously. To restore data off a damaged drive( eg. one drill hole, you would need $$$$$ and a real burning desire to see what was on there. Dick pics likely don’t meet this bar.
Realistically, once a drive has been disassembled, even if the platters are fully intact, making it again possible to retrieve data from them is so difficult and expensive that no one’s gonna try it unless it’s, like, a foreign government who knows you had state secrets hidden on it.
The broken platter and the surface scratches would each easily have been enough to make it permanently irretrievable for sure.
Sus…
Damn, did you get hungry after scratching the hell out of the thing?
Fulfilling a final request from a friend that got hit by a truck while pushing a school girl out of danger?
Bro… what are you hiding? we ALL can see it
I would burn the platters ensuring both sides are black and deformed.
Melt, it’s about the one way to be sure. And by melt I mean molten
All you need is to open the case and its fucked i have no idea what human traficking stuff you had on it but it would be just easier to use a lighter m8.
I can still see the *homework* directory
One must travel to mordor and cast it to the fires of mount doom
Take it to the gun range and put a couple dozen 5.56 through it.
Dude what porn did you look up that required this reaction ????
i’ve always figured if you want to get rid if anything for sure, is take it to a belt sander and turn it to dust, and if you really want to be sure it’s gone, take that dust and either bury it or mix in with something else
Just burn it
The coating of those disks is cancerous. Good luck.
Information can never really be destroyed
I think it’s enough to just encrypt it with something like Bitlocker and format the drive.
cp can not be erased just like that lil’ bro
