Drilling holes in old disks before taking to the tip? Does that work well? I usually run DBAN (Darik's Boot And Nuke) on them, then break the sata or IDE pins off. Physical damage to the platters if something I'll consider. Do you just use a hand drill? Does it work well? Any tips??
Phil - Don't own a pickaxe.
Huge - Take the case off & hit, or hit the outside of the case? Until recently, didn't have "star" head screwdriver that would have allowed me to take the top off the disk.
