Does soaking hard drive platters in orange juice really make data recovery impossible or is that bullshit?
>>51547266
Yes it works or yes its bullshit?
>>51547294
that's right
absolutely
>>51547542
u betcha
I agree
>>51547244
Yeah
just stick it up your ass, buttholes aren't botnet
>>51547244
Did Grampy tell you this after he took your nose?
>>51547294
disregard these anon
yes
>>51547244
If you are willing to extract them for the purpose of putting them in orange juice, why not just smash them with a hammer instead?
>>51547244
Why do you keep posting this?
>>51547244
it will only make the juice impossible to recover
OP, you dumb motherfucker.
HDD are fragile as fuck, if you even open one it will start failing, putting any liquid on it shouldn't affect any possible recovery attempt.
Its okay. But to be on the safe side use Lemon juice or on the other end use bleach
>>51549880
don't forget to add a small amount of drain cleaner for good measure.

The image contains a hidden message in arabic. Just sayin'.
>>51549973
details pls
No, but removing them from the spindle assembly then shattering them into a thousand shards with a hammer does. They are remarkably brittle nowadays and most are made from a glass composite, not metallic.
>>51547690
Because its aluminum not glass
>>51547736
Actually this is my first time posting this
>>51550404
They're both
If you soak your head in orange juice, do you get amnesia?
>>51550589
No its one solid aluminum platter not a stack of 5 glass ones
>>51547244
Yes but only in the missionary position for the sole purpose of deletation.
>>51550798
It depends on the drive. There are definitely HDDs with glass platters, and definitely ones with solid metal ones. Not all platters are the same, anon.
No, OP. It wont affect the rotational velocidensity of the drive.
Depends. Pulp or no pulp?
huh?
>>51547244
Only if you use the right type of orange juice. You can't have any pulp.
No OP. If you really want an unrecoverable drive, use thermite.

Is data recovery possible after writing all zero to the disk once?
No
>>51547244
I don't know but one and truly working method: heat
Once you heat above a magnetic material above it's Curie temp it looses it's ferromagnetic behavior and becomes paramagnetic (ie. loses all stored magnetism and thus all stored information). This temperature is quite high though.
>>51553606
Not OP, but what temperature? I'm wondering if this could be viable for me.
>>51553627
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curie_temperature
I don't know much about HDDs aside from their "spinning rust" nickname. That suggests that you should look at one of the iron oxides. It's ~1000K or ~730°C.
>>51553649
Ah, damn. I think mine can only go up to 700K safely. Thanks for the answer, though.
>>51553686
>I think mine can only go up to 700K safely.
Your what? I think blow torching can be enough, you don't need to expose them to the heat for a long time. Even if it doesn't reach the Curie temp it still helps to cause spontaneous flipping and merging magnetization domains (thus destroying information). But above the Curie temp it is a sure bet.
>>51553760
I have access to a relatively shitty incinerator. It won't cremate a corpse but it will easily burn 90% of what you throw at it.
Just smash it with a fucking hammer. Holy shit OP you are so retarded
>>51553649
It's got a cobalt nikkel coating.
There was a defcon talk on destroying hard drives for when the nsa come to see you.
>>51547624
Underrated toast.
>>51549272
that pic made me see how small things are
>>51547244
Just put it in your oven and set it to self-clean, it will demagnetize the platters. Note that this may start a small fire
>>51557394
why isn't your penis on there, then, anon?
>>51559574
SHOTS FIRED
>>51547294
Yes
>>51549272
OP isn't asking about hard drive failure but how to make data on the discs themselves unrecoverable
