That's what I've done with old HDDs - remove platters from casing, scratch and bend them out of shape, and put platters into different bins heading to land-fill at different times. The drive electronics have gone - at a separate time - to the electrical waste bins at the recycling centre. SSDs will be trickier to destroy, possibly. It dpends if one can pry the chips off the circuit boards, or put a power-saw through them. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ________________________________ Warning: All e-mail sent to this address will be received by the corporate e-mail system, and is subject to archival and review by someone other than the recipient.
