[Hidden-tech] DESTROYING OLD HDDS...

[Nate DeRose]

Personally, I'm a fan of taking them apart and re-purposing the rare earth
magnets, since they're great for craft projects for kids/etc.   The
platters themselves can then be either smashed or dealt with however you
see fit, but there's a fair amount of material in there you can up-cycle.
I've also had kids or friends with kids have fun using the controller
boards as art projects.  The chassis I then let go to scrap.
