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??
Personally I've found that a 6 inch nail and a 2 pound lump hammer works wonders. Of course, I'm sure that the metric equivalent would do equally well.
