Are these disks metal or Plastic as when removing the final disk it exploded and now I don’t know if it’s risky to inhale

@muki_x Год назад

Thanks, they had no evidence in court!

Thank you so much.

Throw the thing in coca cola, the acid should do the job. Says alot about that soft drink.

You can distroy it by free program and cell it again

@jacknick429 2 года назад

Fast forward to 5:50 to actually get the answer on how to destroy the disc! What a waste of time watching this crap !!!

@ankanmunakokkeli9255 2 года назад

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.

@SkyGameZZZZ 3 года назад

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

@stk42 2 года назад

or if you have like something that can make metal molten, just get some molten metal and chuck the platter in.

@Cloudgazing-nl5jp Год назад

You shouldn’t go cutting corners.

@margarettyler339 3 года назад

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

@LePopCollectibles 10 месяцев назад

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.

@mdd1963 9 месяцев назад

Physical destruction not needed; hooking up to any other PC and doing a full format (not default quick format) overwrites the disk with zeros. Unless you were some exotic spy that perhaps the NSA was determined to break out special multi-$million dollar gear on to try to determine write states on drive 'x' writes ago (allegedly possible), an actual single overwrite with random data or zeros will take care of it. And now you can still use your drives as auxiliary storage if they still function.

@DaynJo 6 месяцев назад

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

@roconnor01 3 года назад

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

@kythrathesuntamer9715 Год назад

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

@helenwilliamson7603 2 года назад

Brilliant! Exactly what I needed. Thanks very much.

@Jean-Denis_R_R_Loret 4 месяца назад

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.

@thug4life2005 Год назад

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

@cesarjom 10 месяцев назад

Alternatively take your HDD out to the shooting range 🤣

@a1lucy451 Год назад

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

@drunkenghoul Год назад

If you dont need it just drill through the screw

@MetalHeart8787 Год назад

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.

@josephallevato7188 3 года назад

Instead of wasting time taking it apart, toss it in the BBQ right on the coals and walk away. DONE!

@trainsandplanes8304 2 года назад

Hard drive recovery is not what you would imagine. Companies like drive savers literally recover data from hard disks that have been physically crushed.

@davidjay257 2 года назад

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

@ApplyUrBrain 10 месяцев назад

You stopped too soon. How to destroy the 3 disks? Would bending them work? Can they be bent? What about heating them over a flame on the stove, would that destroy the data? Seems it would be the easiest, if it works.

@johanfrags7707 10 месяцев назад

Curious about heating them on the stove too.

@RagnarHoff 3 года назад

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.

@GeekStreet 3 года назад

Get a screwdrive and put scratches in them, that should be more that enough.

@Katietoo 2 года назад

Many thanks for this! Can I claim my Level 1 IT certificate now, please? 😊

@BreakfastKing 10 месяцев назад

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

@BeeeHonest 2 года назад

Nah... Too much unscrewing! Just use a powerdrill and drill through them all at once. Save a lot of time and hassle!

@kayrealist9793 Год назад

I knew a friend who worked in hard drive recovery and he told me they often got customers with hard drive drilled into them with multiple holes. Yes you guessed it. They were able to recover over 90% of the data on the platters.

@shawnruth7946 Год назад

...but oh what fun taking it apart!

@shawnruth7946 Год назад

Take a hammer to it until you have nothing left but a pile of rubbish

@V4ultr3mTV Год назад

@@kayrealist9793this was so hard for me to read! Lol 😵‍💫

@Brookside975 2 месяца назад

Or just drill a few holes through all three disks without removing one screw or opening the case.

@nightstalker9399 7 месяцев назад

Be careful if you cut them. Last time I did this, I was luckily wearing eye glasses. When I began the cut, the disk shattered and shards of material flew up into my face.

@morphmanmc2487 Год назад

Well guys, welcome to the watchlist

@aaryangautam4273 3 года назад

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.

@GeekStreet 3 года назад

Destroying the hard drive is enough.

@aaryangautam4273 3 года назад

@@GeekStreet just to be sure hard drive is the one with those glass discs and have some information written on the case of it? Right?

Or you could use a fishing magnet..... or you could burn them with thermite.

I took the patters out and cut them in half with a tree pruning tool. There’s something strangely satisfying about that. 😉

awesome video and I have been stressing about how to do it properly!!!! But one question I have a paper shredder that shreds CDs . Would that do the trick?

@PinkGirl2242 5 лет назад

You could have recovered the data from the hard drive if you didn't already before disassembled.

@GeekStreet 5 лет назад

There was nothing important so no biggy.

@PinkGirl2242 5 лет назад

@@GeekStreet That's good news then because I've lost lots of data in the past by hard drives dying lol. Nowadays you can fix the bad sectors etc with the mechanical hdds but not with ssds as they have no moving parts just memory chips.

@GeekStreet 5 лет назад

Data loss is always a nightmare, I have a server with mirrored drives to hopefully protect against that.
