    This should work for both spinning disks and SSD. of course you can't make an aluminum ingot from an SSD.

    Drive slagging. http://eecue.com/c/driveslag

    ^----- this. When all that's left is a pile of melted aluminum there is nothing to recover. Even with a hole in the drive or a shredded drive there's still intact pieces, if you really want to do it right you have to melt it down to just aluminum.

  5. Smash....no. by Jason1729 · · Score: 1 · on "Smash Your Hard Drive" To Fight Identity Theft

    Smashing the hard drive is not good security it's way to easy to read your data. The only way to be sure is to melt it into slag.

  7. Re:planning by Sigma+7 · · Score: 1 · on Cheap Bulk Eraser for Hard Disks?
    If your vendor is reputable, your data will be destroyed from the disks you send back...


    Quick question - how does the vendor reliably receive the hard drives? Here's a list of possibilities (which may or may not be implemented):

    - UPS, Fedex, DHL or other freight companies
    - Postal mail (regular service)
    - Postal mail, registered.
    - Hand delivery by customer or personal pickup by vendor.

    In the first two options, there are chances of freight issues where the packages get lost or stolen. In the third option, the package is tagged as requiring special attention, and thus may convince some people that there may be valuable data on the drives heading to Maxtor or the likes. This is an issue common to all companies, no matter how much of a good reputation they may have.

    The fourth option is generally a bit expensive, and usually defeats the purpose of returning the product for warrenty.

    Seriously, if you are worried about the vendor not erasing data for you, you're better off just slagging the drive and forgetting about the warrenty. It's much easier than trying to find a similar circuit board and swapping it with the dead board (which still isn't guarenteed to work).

    The pics of the Blue Flash are way more professional looking than this coaster. I'm working on convincing my S.O. to let me build one of these puppies with metal made from melted hard drive platters in my home made forge so I'm gonna need something better than 2x4's and PVC.
