Disposal of Old External Drives

Some other possible solutions off the top of my head:

1) Buy a plane ticket to somewhere with active volcano, climb up volcano - drop it into active lava bed

2) Put it on a probe being sent into sun

3) Put it in a sulphuric acid vat

4) put it on a nuclear bomb test site

5) put content on youtube - you will make so much money out of advertising, you will not care. Your offended family will soon love you again.

6) send it through a timewarp so it reappears after your death - after that you will not care.

7) Send it in luggage to Charles De Gaulle airport with false labelling - once luggage is lost there it is never seen again

8) Put in liquid hydrogen and make it very brittle and it will shatter easily with a hammer

9) let my ex-wife have the drives - she has an uncanny ability to lose all data so it is never recovered, just by being within 10 metres of drive

I am sure others can provide innovative methods?

Don't forget one ounce of C2 explosive.

The quickest way to destroy old hard drives is to remove the covers and blast the platters with a propane or mapgas torch
