Batu69 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 The Department of Defense standards are for chumps. With the Molten Copper Overwrite™ even an incomplete destruction of the hard disk will result in an unusable metal puck with no clear way to access the scorched ones and zeros within. Best of all it works on HDDs, SSDs, CDs, magnetic tape, people, and portable drives—and it’s cross-platform. Try and read my One Piece slashfic now, NSA!

straycat19 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I have been using copper to destroy hard drives for about 25 years. Copper jacketed bullets that is. Hard drives (and SSDs) make excellent targets on the range and one round out of a .50 Cal Barrett causes the drive to actually disintigrate. Using smaller caliber bullets requires more shots but the 'targets' last a little longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete 12 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 OK, this way you can still use your HDDs, after erasing. I have some ( very) old Maxtor HDDs, about 15 years old, still working fine, only for data-backup.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whoopenstein Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Geez - why not just open the case - remove the disk and gouge/torch it? Also - what kinda crap would be on there in the first place to be that paranoid? Maybe you deserve to be busted. This is beyond the average person that doesn't want their finance/id info stolen.
