Just take the disk off the drive - looks like a Doctors reflector on his
head. Use a hammer and do a dance all around

Scratch it with a awl or other nasty. Put it in a fire. Melt it down.

Lots of ways to take a disk apart.

Overwriting it won't always erase. We used to run 10 patterns to
quality a disk and afterwards we had to format the disk.

Here is why you're a ****ing moron if you think smashing your hard
drive is a good answer to protecting your data from someone determined
enough to read it.

You're also a ****ing moron if you believe iggy is some kind a
computer expert.

"Yes, physically destroying a hard drive renders your device and the
data on it unusable. But with enough motivation and the right
equipment-and the F.B.I. has both-some of your data can be recovered.
Dan Kaminsky, chief scientist of security firm DKH, says 100 percent
physical data destruction is nearly impossible. The only method that
comes close is overwriting the disk.

with acetylene.

An aluminum foundry will fershure wipe that data ... Sweejesus Jon , if
the disc is physically destroyed the drive is unreadable .
