Oh no. Anyway.
This is a very specialized job, your avg joe is not going to do it. Also, in the many years I’ve been in IT, I’ve never even seen a video of a platter reconstructed and get data off it.
Sure, but if we’re repurposing a decade old machine, I doubt a 1TB drive is required. Learn to live within 256 or 512, those are not super expensive. And don’t need nvme, sata is perfectly acceptable.
SSDs are cheap enough, no sense in using a 10 year old mechanical drive to save $30.
Bud, if you put that platter back together after I snipped it, you deserve every bit of data you get off it, 1000%
They’re recyclable snipped.
Mine, sure. I replaced 15 desktops that day, no fucking way.
Snip
Yeah 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.
They’re 500gb mechanical hard drives with financial data on them. Snip and done. No time wasted, not reusing them.
I 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.
Dan Bongino!
