- Most people would just toss the old hard drive into the garbage bin or drop it off at a recycling center. These hard drives may contain your personal information, If you read it on the news, 2nd hand hard drive can be purchased from ebay. There are professional data recovery software that can retrieve all your data, even you think you have erased everything. Once they recover the data, identity theft get the cache, cookies, saved credentials, credit cards, name or address. All those information can be used against you. If they sell it on the dark web, it can ruin your life.
I will show you how to couple of ways using the tools you have (serious DIY people may have them) and you can avoid being another victim of identity theft.

This was a thing over a decade ago, maybe longer. Back when drives were MFM, RLL etc. Back then, it was possible to recreate data by reading from the edges of the tracks which were not always erased/overwritten. However, since IDE and SATA, so far as I know, no one has recovered data that has been overwritten by the normal OS. The tricky bit is the difference between 'Deleted' and 'Overwritten'.
When you delete a file on Mac or PC, often times the actual file is not deleted. What is deleted is the name of the file in the directory, and the location. The is akin to deleting a chapter of a book by whiting out the chapter name and number from the Table of Contents. If you flip through the book, the chapter is still there and readable.
To securely erase, you want to overwrite all the tracks that the file is on, with either random data, all zeros, all ones, etc.
Old DoD had a protocol for overwriting the entire disk with a minimum of 7 seperate passes of all zero's, all ones, and random data, in some order.
As mentioned this was because older drive technology was based on wider data tracks on the disks, and and erase or delete file command would change 95% of the track location, but that small area not erase could still technically be recovered.
With the newer drives, much smaller tracks, and much finer read/write heads, there is no way read the 'margins' of the tracks to snoop on old data.
So, get a good Open Source program like DBAN, etc, which will do a low-level format of a drive, and run a couple of cycles of filling all the tracks with random data.
Actually, someone has a large bounty IIRC for years now, where they will payout if anyone can recover data from a standard Mac/PC low-level format alone.
CIA/NSA can't keep that secret.
You write everything ignoring the fact that nowadays most computers use SSD, and if you think DBAN or overwriting will work on SSD then good luck, ignoring the fact that even on HDD there is a chance that the program you used to overwrite data did not do a good job and did not overwrite some sectors, and because some process got in the way and because this and because that, the options are many. Physical destruction is the only reasonable solution, DoD released this method in the 90s for a reason ;)
I suggest using sandpaper on the platter, putting holes in it with a drill, then cutting it in half and bending the pieces.
Certainty that's additional good steps to take it further, thanks for sharing
i guess it's pretty randomly asking but do anyone know a good place to watch newly released series online?
@Reuben Marcellus I watch on flixzone. You can find it by googling :)
@Reuben Marcellus I would suggest Flixzone. You can find it by googling :)
@Reuben Marcellus I watch on FlixZone. You can find it on google =)
How many HDDs can you cut with one entire saw blade?
What’s the powder you are putting in the bag at the end?
HAHAHAHA... woww.. very good eyes.... I just threw some cement dust there. LOL
Pop the discs off put the motor hub in a lathe chuck and scrape the shiny datafoil off saving the chips with a vacuum cleaner. Recycle the aluminum platters hub and case as cast aluminum, then dissolve the datafoil first with NaOH to remove sluminum then water rinse then in HNO3 to remove cobalt samerium and nickel, finally in aqua regia to remove platinum. The silver grey powder left over is rhodium.❤
The brand of the saw is DeWalt. Not sure why the dude went and censored it lol but ok
I'm just watching for curiosity
Circuit boards have bad chemicals so wear lung protection if using the chopsaw
Good point.... I will wear P100 next time
I just drop mine into 2000' of seawater.
That works too!!!!
Big fan bro
But then the Atlanteans will get all your juicy homemade porn
Can you not just simply snip off the strip connecting the circuit board to drive? will that suffice?
The platters should be broken, Since thats the data. You can take it apart and smash the platters if they're glass, Or you can just drill into it and then sand it.
Sorry for the long post above. TL;DR, do a "Low-level Format" from your OS on the drive. Every Data-Recovery company in existence will tell you they are not going to be able to recover anything. And its doubtful the CIA, NSA, FSB, etc are going to either. If you know about the technology, it makes sense. If you think it is magic, then you will destroy working hardware for no good reason.
Back at the turn of the century one of Britain's major psychiatric clinics upgraded their computers and dumped the old computers in the yard. I was given permission to take anything I wanted. All the installed hard drives had had their circuit boards cut ... but there were a couple of unused drives. I used the circuit boards from these on the drives in the computers ... and was able to access EVERYTHING the clinic had stored on their system ... patients records, communications between psychiatrists from all over the world, research data, etc. The clinic specialised in child psychiatry ... from what I read I came to the opinion that they were moulding children's behaviour to fit in with their theories ... a sort of "psychiatric witchcraft" seemed to be going on. Recently this clinic has been sued by people who were encouraged by the clinic, before they reached puberty, to undergo gender reassignment .
Just goes to show these LGBTs are mentally ill and just want to force others to accept and become like them.
wow, do you still have the data?
Sounded plausible until the last sentence.
I would bet that stretch it and put it in a strong acid for hours would make a difference.
what about just burning the damn thing!!!
Do it the American way, use an AR-15 and a Tub of Tannerite!
Bless Canada!
Umm sounds like you have something to hide...smh
Yes, I accidentally destroyed the bitcoin hard drive....
