Hi David.
OK then, correction, most computer experts will find it difficult if not
impossible to extract the data, but if your the sort of person who needs to
protect such sensitive information from the likes of the government's elite
crack squad because your some kind of terrorist or some such, "smile", the
only sure way is incineration and that's after you've dismantled the drive
mechanism using the drill method.
All the best, Ibrahim.

This is not absolutely true.
Our security experts have methods which don't require the disk to rotate in
order to retrieve the data.

Hi Peter.
You need to remove the hard drive from the casing it is enclosed in, then
using a large bore drill, drill out the centre hub of the drive which
contains the spindle mechanism controlling the heads. This will not only
destroy the rotary mechanism but will also permanently damage the platters
which may or may not shatter. You’d be best to do the drilling part outside
as the drive may contain toxic chemicals, however the upshot is that even
the most determined computer expert will find it near impossible to
reassemble the drive and you can forget about anyone getting data off it.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Greetings
What do people do to ensure that failed drives cannot be revived and
sensitive information misused please?
Thanks
