We used to have fun taking drives apart and playing around with the magnets.I've been a Windows Server Admin for 20+ years. I would remove the hard drive and use a hammer/punch to destroy the platters. If it's SSD remove the board and microwave the sucker for 20 seconds. Throw the rest in the can. Every company I've ever worked for "you would recognize them all" paid to have them destroyed not donated. After we wiped them with multiple passes to DOD standards.
LOL no kidding. I'd hit my friends monitor from my side of the cube wall with one and turn it purple for half an hour...I started out workng on mainframes and mini's, loved the degauser!
I still do that. I have a lovely stack of platters on the filing cabinet next to my desk.We used to have fun taking drives apart and playing around with the magnets.
