minus-squarethermal_shock@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up26·5 hours agoI won’t even give hard drives when recycling a computer, I pull and smash myself. Last set of old drives I cut in half with bolt cutters.
minus-squareNibodhika@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down3·3 hours agoThat’s overkill, a couple of passes with dd and it’s irrecoverable.
minus-squareJustAnotherKay@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·3 hours agoA couple of passed with dd takes way longer than bolt cutters and it’s much less satisfying
minus-squaretatterdemalion@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down1·3 hours agoI think they meant you could wipe with dd and then they are recyclable.
minus-squarethermal_shock@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·2 hours agoThey’re recyclable snipped.
minus-squarethermal_shock@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 hours agoYeah lmao. Wipe one drive at a time with a USB connector. No thanks. I don’t have bulk drive operation equipment and then it ties up a computer doing the work.
minus-squareBytemeister@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·3 hours agoWait, you don’t just hang like 6 of them out of your desktop by their cables and wipe them while you sleep?
minus-squarethermal_shock@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 hours agoMine, sure. I replaced 15 desktops that day, no fucking way. Snip
minus-squarethermal_shock@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·3 hours agoThey’re 500gb mechanical hard drives with financial data on them. Snip and done. No time wasted, not reusing them.
