  A couple of passed with dd takes way longer than bolt cutters and it’s much less satisfying

    I think they meant you could wipe with dd and then they are recyclable.

      They’re recyclable snipped.

        More like they become reusable. A lot of places that refurbish donated computers for people who need them are perpetually short on drives since so much of the hardware they get have the drives pulled.

    Yeah lmao. Wipe one drive at a time with a USB connector. No thanks. I don’t have bulk drive operation equipment and then it ties up a computer doing the work.

      Wait, you don’t just hang like 6 of them out of your desktop by their cables and wipe them while you sleep?

        Mine, sure. I replaced 15 desktops that day, no fucking way.

  I think bolt cutters are faster though

    But more wasteful

    And significantly more power efficient

  They’re 500gb mechanical hard drives with financial data on them. Snip and done. No time wasted, not reusing them.
