Drill or shred.

Drill or shred.

Yup. When I decommission HDDs I smash the platters with a hammer. Did that several months back to about a dozen old drives.

Are you by any chance Hillary Clinton ( in drag ) ?
Nah
Sounds like you encrypt your mail ?

What kind of **** do you keep on your machine ?
Have you never heard of Tails and a RAM drive ?
How do you know someone has not already copied all the crap off before you got to the smashing stage ?
What kind of firewall / DMZ / Zone are you running ?
I think you should rather destroy your complete machine -- with thermite or something
Maybe you work out of a Faraday cage ?

You can never really "destroy" data on a magnetic disk. Sure, you can make it harder to recover though.

Seen an article in Popular Mechanics a couple of years ago. You have to physically destroy the HD, and all the discs. Drill it, take a sander to it, melt it etc
