How to Destroy Your Drive

By Paul Plent


The very best external way to destroy files in your hard disk drive is to apply sand paper. Find a smaller screw driver and then open up the hard drive. And then rub the fine sand paper backwards and forwards all over the platters. It is a best way of ensuring that the whole set of data is erased.

Taking a hammer on the hard drive is an additional great method to eliminate it. It can also be liberating as well as fun. The most important thing to keep in mind when hammering a harddrive is that it has to be completely destroyed so no data can be recovered. Use all of your power and take full swings using the hammer.

A magnetic field can be a disk drive's worst enemy. Running a magnet over it will erase all the records on the disk drive. You need to use a powerful magnet, like a neodymium magnet. To be safe and sound, utilize the mallet or sand paper approach when completed. You cant ever be too certain with your own personal data.

Water isn't any good for computer components. Placing the harddrive in water will definitely mess it up to the point where data is going to be hard to retrieve. In order to be certain of its destruction, you can add chlorine bleach in the mixture. Fill your bath tub with water plus dump a gallon of chlorine bleach within the water. Soak the hard disk for one hour.

Hard disks go great along with hamburgers as well as hot dogs. If you are searching for a creative way to get rid of your hard disk drive, you may try putting it on the barbeque grill the next time there is a bbq. The high temperature should burn all of the crucial parts, and data won't be able to be reclaimed.

Simply getting rid of the files and then clearing the trash can won't forever eliminate your files. The data files could be retrieved quite easily then employed against you. Private photos, bank card number,and financial data can be accessed if you're not cautious.
