ReconRat Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Drilling was appropriate, or simply disassembling. Or both, in this case.I can sometimes make a dead hard drive work again, and get the data, so it's possible.Putting the disks from one in another is rather difficult and not likely to succeed.So your dead hard drives might have been readable if I got to them.I wouldn't bother, unless you had to have something back from the drive, but I've known cases of people doing just that to corporate drives to try and snoop the files. Serious files and/or drives are encrypted of course.But there we go again, I can bust into many of those also.It is risk related, but there will always be some one some where with a lot of time and skill on their hands. (That thinks they know where to sell the data.)So basically drilling is sufficient for most drives, and quite quicker than running a software wipe. And is the only action (some form of destruction) if the drive needs repair to run. But like I said, serious drives get serious wiped first with the appropriate software.And then we shoot them so this can be moved to the firearms forum...

SWing'R Posted April 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 The drives are no more.Thanks again to everyone that replied and helped me out,once again OR helps overcome life's little obstacles. And BTW, if I had any firearms I would have most likely gone that route first,but for some reason the wife doesn't trust me with any , although probablynot a bad thing cause I'm sure I would have killed a couple of my neighbors by now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
