Subject: Erasing a hard disk easily

That's what I am going to do to the non donated units smash, drill and M80

But for the ones I am donating I was wondering if the magnet approach was

Thanks..

Our standard procedure for destruction of hard disks is summed up in two

Line 'em up and drill 'em through.  You can do a hundred in a few minutes.
