    What's the fastest / easiest way to destroy a hard drive?

    and make all data on it completely unrecoverable? Preferably without using explosives, acid and stuff like that.

            Powerful magnets will wipe it - Hydrochloric (Muriatic) Acid - Burn It With Thermite - DBAN (otherwise known as Darik's Boot and Nuke) is a bootable Linux CD-ROM - get a funeral home to burn it - pool acid can work

            curious as to what exactly are you attempting to get rid of?

              take it out and lay it on the ground
              Take one screwdriver and one hammer
              Place the screwdriver tip on top of the metal cover
              Hit with hammer
              repeate untill the screwdriver have gone through the metalcover or you can hear the disk break inside

              :::the end

                    I dont usually respond in the threads like this, but I just did this very recently and worked great....

                    If you want a peaceful way of destroying the data, open up the harddrive to expose the the insides (not even needed). Set oven on 550 degrees. Leave in oven until melted.

                    If you want a more exciting way of destroying the data, do the above except throw it in a small controlled fire.

                    Both ways are very easy and doable at any time.

                              Let my husband use your computer for a day, no one will EVER be able to get access to a damn thing you have again.

                              He has fried about 6 drives this year alone, along with whole computers. He seems to be a magnet for malware that fucks up computers and drives beyond anything resembling recognition.

                                A lot of the methods posted won't work completely. It depends on if you "really" want the data gone. Data recovery places brag all the time from recovering data after HDDs have been in fires, cars in the bottom of rivers etc.

                                A good quick way would be to use a drill, it would only take a minute or two and you could put several holes in the HDD.

                                      Take it out your computer, walk to any large bridge crossing a tidal flowing river at night, cross bridge, drop drive in water at half way point, continue walking.

                                      Allegedly -- this is the best way to dispose of any relatively small and heavy object (guns, etc.). The item will sink into the soft sand / mud in the river, and the tidal flow will shortly cover the item in silt and it will be gone forever. Tidal river systems are a nightmare to dive in for evidence recovery, as there is so much matter in the water that visibility is extremely poor, and the changing tides make diving in these areas hard to manage. Just make sure you are not being followed to the bridge -- this is why it should be done on foot, and ideally under the cover of darkness.

                                          Physically: Take heavy sandpaper to the platters.

                                          Electronically: dd random bits to the whole drive several times over.

                                                                put it in a MRI machine, it will be done for

                                                                there is something you can do that erases the drive like 22 times, i forget but Ive had to do it before when selling a laptop.

                                                                if you dont care about the hard drive, just open it up and burn it in an open flame with high heat. anything over 700 degrees will be toast

He told me that finding evidence under a bridge with tidal flow was mostly impossible, unless what you were looking for had some buoyancy -- and even then it was a really long shot as stuff gets dragged for miles by the tides either up or more likely down stream.

                                                                                              To make the data unrecoverable, the best bet is fire. Easily available since the stone age, and will make it impossible for even the most advanced data recovery techniques to read.
