Essentially, hard drives can be destroyed by heating them above their specific temperature, where magnetism is lost or to grind the magnetic layer away. It is recommended to buy hard drives, whose plates are made of glass with magnetic coating as opposed to purely metallic plates. Glass plates HDD are much rarer, but easy to shatter into millions of shards, then just flush them down the loo. Never trust erasing software. Data recovery firms use highly advanced technology. Today HDDs are cheap, buy new ones and sleep calmly. Streamer tapes should be incinerated. Keep an asbetos pot and a flask of napalm ready. Then grab a gun and fight the FBI. Remember, John Dillinger died for you! Regards, Tamas Feher. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
