How to properly destroy a hard drive

[@steve-harveyy]

Most content diverse channel on youtube. I think this video also shows the important of eyepro since drill bits can grow wings.

Totally, I find that sharing what I am doing makes good content. You'll love the upcoming woodworking build video featuring ridge wallets

@@xBeauGaming Those are the most useless wallets on the market. A good traditional leather bifold or trifold will never be beat. I bought a Horween Leather Bifold Wallet from Northstar leather a few years ago and it's amazing. Last leather wallet I bought was probably close to 30 years ago. P.S. I have no relation to this company other than a happy customer who now feels the need to spend more money after looking the site up.....

That looked rather cathartic. However, I couldn't help but wonder if a couple .308 rounds would give a similar result. Testing shall commence!

[@xBeauGaming]

I was going to use a 223 solution but...you know...dont shoot what you cant replace

@@xBeauGaming Prices are dropping. When you buy bulk, you can get them for less than $0.50 a round.

ive thrown them in a fire pit before but this is effective as well. everyone needs to know that destroying old drives is super important. great vid on awareness!

[@MAGAMAN]

A grinder with a cutoff wheel is also an excellent way to destroy it. Take the pieces of the platter and throw them away at different times so they can never find them all if you are really paranoid.

After you put the hole in it, soak them in a bucket of vinegar for a couple days. That will ensure they never work again.

Haha Beau got me off guard and had me cracking up, thanks for the laugh boss man.

[@myrthjt]

That's an awful lot of work. Just take them to the range.

[@xBeauGaming]

Too expensive with ammo as it is ;)

[@gohardgibson]

Great idea, thanks xBeau!

[@poisonousbadge126]

Remove the evidence!

[@TiagoJRToledo]

You're doing some shady shit if you need to do this.

[@ZeddTheGeneral]

more information is stored on drives than you think.

[@TiagoJRToledo]

@@ZeddTheGeneral Being in the Cybersecurity field, I think I have a pretty good idea. Even still, my point stands.

[@Gretschdrums01]

Not really, identity theft is scary stuff and lots of people keep their tax forms and such on hard drives.

[@Darkknight-yw3hf]

@@Gretschdrums01 Yeah, browsers even hold your passwords

[@xBeauGaming]

Hmmm, I just dont like the idea of anything being able to be found by some random.

[@VampireConnoisseur]

[@sirspongadoodle]

enchant a iron sword and stab it.
