Stick them on a large subwoofer and play drum and bass at 120db

I managed to blow mine by plugging in the wrong adaptor, but that didn't destroy the files.Originally posted by MrGongGong View Post
There was an episode of Judge John Deed that showed the destruction of a hard drive.Comment

Large amounts of magnetism will wipe anythingOriginally posted by Eine Alpensinfonie View Post
I used to know some folks who had a bulk eraser in their studio, it was simply a large electromagnet that you put the spool of tape on and rotated it (making sure you had taken off you watch before!) thus scrambling all the data on the tape.
If you need to really destroy the data there are software options OR these folks will do it for you
the real question though is
"will it blend?"

Should do for you, too, Ros - give it a bit of a hose down afterwards.... Sorted!

An old laptop HD went under the hammer and then the tip. An old desktop HD was disassembled, the head block and the disc assembly having been bent out of shape with a large screwdriver are both used as paperweights and the bent disc assembly is a good talking point for visitors! First the platters as an ornament and then thehead assssembly.

Thank you for this thread, ff... It suddenly made me recall that in a cupboard was my old external drive, which had lots of work stuff on it in previous years!
Indeed, the casing on that had no obvious way in - a couple of screwdrivers and some leverage popped off the case, revealing inside just a standard hard drive, like those in my iMac... soon to be unscrewed and the platters inside reduced to hammered semi-circles like the others here, for imminent sawing in two!Originally posted by french frank View Post

Amazing what they can do in films, isn't it?Originally posted by Caliban View Post
Arguably a trifle over-the-top?
(The metal ones I'm dealing with seem as if they might be the only things that would survive an explosion
)
I doubt whether they'd survive the kinds of explosion I'm thinking of.Comment

This sounds like the biz.
