Drill Holes (Score 1)

I drill holes in the HDD's from work. If they have glass platters, they shatter, done deal. If they are metal, they get a hole all the way through every platter.

My thoughts - if someone goes through the effort of trying to retrieve data from a drive in that condition, they've "earned" it.

Maybe I'm ignorant to how some data recoverey techniques are used, but, as far as I understand it, it has to be read from a head while the platter spins. When the head comes across a 1/2" hole, good-bye heads...
