I'm assuming this is actually to render an old drive inoperable, in case of sensitive contents?
15 0 ReplyJust spit balling, but it might be possible to flatten the platters out to recover some of the data, maybe even enough to piece together what was on there. The proper method for destruction is to wipe the drives, then shred them.

Yes for spinny drives.
For SSDs, when you delete something TRIM + physics ensures it's really really gone all the time
Please stop shredding SSDs that can go on to a 2nd life...

I'm just sitting here wondering how tf they did this....
Did they put it in a bending brake?

16 0 ReplyIt's a machine designed to destroy hard drives. They use a hydraulic ram to bend it and shatter the platters.
11 0 ReplyWhich is overkill when you can get the same result by just drilling a hole into the drive.
