This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I recycle ewaste, and so I have boxes and boxes of old hard drives. My proc is single pass dban and then a 10mm hole drilled through the case and onto the platters.

This is for normal business eol hardware that I get from offices and warehouses, nothing sketchy.

If the client wants evidence of destruction before leaving premises, I skip DBAN and just drill the platters with a cordless drill.
