Thanks, they had no evidence in court!

[margarettyler]

Mine was a little bit different, but the steps are all the same. This was a huge help. Thank you.

[SkyGameZZZZ]

Here’s how you do it

Open the drive
Take out the platters (aka the silver disks)
Take a hammer
Crush those disks until they are literal particles
Salvage or throw away the remaining drive

[LePopCollectibles]

Thank you for sharing this. This is very helpful. I've been keeping a few very old hard disk drives, afraid to just throw them away in the garbage bin for fear of data in it could be recovered by criminals. Now I can confidentally dismantle them and destroy them one by one.

[MetalHeart]

I just watched a video on how to take out the hard Drive, then watched this to how to remove / Destroy the hard Drive,
Great Video thanks.

[ankanmunakokkeli]

Just open it and hit it with hammer. No one wants your data and even with little damage it is propably impossible to recover files.

[helenwilliamson]

Brilliant! Exactly what I needed. Thanks very much.

[Jean-Denis_R_R_Loret]

more efficient: electric sander.
While the whole metalic layer is reduced to dust and the only thing left is the glass fiber structure of all platters, you're done.

[roconnor]

Just hit it with a sledge hammer, that'll smash all the disks in one fell swoop!

[davidjay]

Thanks for not speeding up 6 screw removal. Always wondered how that was done.

[easystar]

Brilliant video, thanks for sharing. It helped me dispose of my hard drive.

[alucy]

I don’t see where you mention what kind of tools are needed for those screws. Regular screw drivers don't work.

[thuglife]

I just bought a new hdd and i'm going to try this hopefully it don't void my 5 year warranty.

[cesarjom]

Alternatively take your HDD out to the shooting range 🤣

[kythrathesuntamer]

Word. Sibbling has some old drives with data on it they want gone and don't feel safe any other way. where'd you get the screw driver tho? ;p

[BreakfastKing]

Thanks for the video. Mine had 8 screws and only 1 disc inside

[DaynJo]

Well it helped because after watching this, as I have a number to destroy, An angle grinder is a definite purchase. 👍

[RagnarHoff]

You think using a sandpaper on those 3 discs is enough to destroy them? THe discs in 3, 5 hdd is hard as nails and not easy to break.

[aaryangautam]

If computer is damaged, then destroying the hard drive is enough to remove all the data completely? Or one also has to destroy ram. Could you please reply? I don't know much about computers.
