I am changing my computer that contains so important information such as my credit card pin, etc. I want to know what are the possible ways for disposing of a hard drive?
One of the securing way to disposing of a hard drive and erasing the information on it by destroying the magnetic platter inside. Remove as many screws as possible using the screwdriver. Remove the main circuit board from the enclosure. Hammer can also help to remove it. When it gets open, remove the silver platter from inside. Scratch the platter to destroy the information contained by it.
