The truck that eats hard drives

Local IT asset disposal company Xperien has launched Africa's first mobile hard drive shredder plant.

I tried to use a similar service a while back and got told I had to disassemble the drives first... I was like wtf?

I use a 12 lb hammer and cold steel chisel. Disabled a few dozen HDDs late last year. The circuits and steel get harvested by the Rubbish Dump People, so it all gets recycled.

Rather disassemble. Better for data safety.

Also HDDs have a moerse strong neodymium magnet in them.
