minus-squarethermal_shock@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up32·2 months 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-up16arrow-down4·2 months agoThat’s overkill, a couple of passes with dd and it’s irrecoverable.
minus-squareJustAnotherKay@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up38·2 months agoA couple of passed with dd takes way longer than bolt cutters and it’s much less satisfying
minus-squarethermal_shock@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 months 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-up5·2 months 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-up3·2 months agoMine, sure. I replaced 15 desktops that day, no fucking way. Snip
minus-squarecheesybuddha@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·2 months agoI think bolt cutters are faster though
minus-squareBillegh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 months agoAnd significantly more power efficient
minus-squarethermal_shock@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 months agoThey’re 500gb mechanical hard drives with financial data on them. Snip and done. No time wasted, not reusing them.
minus-squaretoynbee@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoA tool, primarily within Linux, that can overwrite disks. I’ve never seen it recommended for data deletion, but I guess it makes sense. It stands for “disk to disk” and is usually used for things like writing ISOs. However, shred is the usual approach.
minus-squareblazeknave@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 months agoI think I’ve never disposed of one for this reason haha
