[justas7463]

that thing looks damn hot :o

[LordKalbert]

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

[tekylababy]

FIRE ON WINDOWS XP HAHAH

[355000]

I hope you didn't use that method with the other parts because they are toxic. You are supposed to render the platters unspinnable, a hammer works just fine.

[BF3Enthusiast]

Not good enough... use a nuke.

[viirtuosity]

Theyur.. ruhtreev theyet enfurmashion.

[SEGA128DC]

Hmm, I just couldn't remove the screws from the platter to my hard drive, so I torched it anyway. It didn't melt like in your video, but I think the heat from the torch did enough damage...

[Mindraker1]

@SEGA128DC I couldn't either, so I figured the average Joe couldn't, either. After erasing the important stuff, damaging the outside, running a hefty magnet around it, and soaking it in orange juice, I figured that the cost of repair would far outweigh any benefit anyone could retrieve from it. Sure, I could burn it and all that, but it wasn't worth the effort at that point (for me).

[Delvstrand]

try to use it now xD

[atiraedeon123]

sledgehammer works too

[JeremyB796]

this is probible the only way to destroy all the data from the gov.

[song110beforgiving]

Took a minute to get her goin.

[djavidu]

A car made of those disc would be unbeatable 

[UltraNSC]

10000% BEST Method 2 destroy all !

[adwdragon]

[ongchorcool]

[namara500]

[MULTITECHNERD]

Yup that will really fry it up with no chance of recovery. Nice.

[scott93257]

I think it's defragged yeah?

[jjjjj88ify]

[jjjjj88ify]

OK THIS is only necessary if you hold data on an American President and the CIA are after you!!

[Flightkid9]

[SMASHITFORTHELULZ]

and i was thinking my attempt was good lol

[gonped20]

nah! i dont think that ruins it hahahaaha

[fierwall5]

hay if you put the tip of the blue it would have gone faster that is the hottest part of the flame

[Mark37251]

..........the flame doesnt get hotter the farther away it is....its hottest where the center of the flame is. the "tip" is just the limit of the range. not some magical focal point where it multiplies the temperature

[bluestucco]

What kind of torch were you using?

[chaostheoryfilms]

@bluestucco it was one of those bottles with the torch on top.

[Serkant75]

i have always to laugh about no sense action !

[SuperDave61164]

Have fun cleaning that up!!!!

[SuperDave61164]

STUPID!!!!!!!!

[chaostheoryfilms]

Why all the hostility?

[SuperDave61164]

STUPID!

[chaostheoryfilms]

Why the double tap?

[DJmenlol]

this is mush faster than to format the disc!

[boognishz]

The ultimate in anti-spyware.

[citzenarghy]

If you do this realize that you can suffer from carbon monoxide poisoning very easily if you torch stuff inside a building. Carbon monoxide poisoning is particularly damaging to your heart and brain.

[virokill132]

he's already there

[noskid7]

How do you know he wasn't in a garage with good air flow?

[DaemonAnt]

I believe microwaving is good as well.

[hexdcs]

CHKDISK

[cheetawolf]

not even DiskSavers can saver that disc >:)

[ArthurRusbridge]

I can fix and retrive information from that drive. Just give me a hammer, duct tape and I will make it just like new.

[Asbestos7431]

Und wo is der sinn??!!?? :P

[corycory25]

lol there retreive that information :P

[WASEEMNAEEM]

you are THE MAN!!!!

[leonred88]

rly hard

[sonyfan007]

how hard is a hard driver???

[Zulnic]

a hard drive is pretty hard. but some people bust them open with sledge hammers.

[FranktheShanker12]

LOL "retrieve that information" ...priceless

[mygaffer]

Not all the data on that drive is unrecoverable. DriveSavers had a drive that was in a computer that burned 1700 degrees and they recovered the data in 24 hours. The best way to get rid of data is to use a program like the old IBM "Wipe" which you would launch from a bootable floppy then do a whole lot of passes writing 0s to the entire disk. For good measure use an electro magnet like we have at our shop on it a few times. Then do all your physical stuff to it.

[chaostheoryfilms]

I just checked with a computer repairman I know he assured me there is NO way the data on here is readable, The datasavers info they retrieved was from a computer that the drive was protected by the drive case and the computer case as well, it was not exposed to fire directly.

[mygaffer]

I know, I'm just giving you hard time. Really though, it is harder to destroy your data then a lot of people think.

[chaostheoryfilms]

It's cool, you would be suprised what some of these people do with their drives, eg just throwing them away or nothing.

[mygaffer]

Oh it takes a lot to surprise me anymore when it comes to the average individual and computers. I myself work as a computer tech at a small mom & pop store. I see all kinds of stupidity like you wouldn't believe.

[HumbleLovingBeliever]

@mygaffer No one can recover that data. Tust me, i know exactly what i am talking about. DriveSavers and the like are, in fact, fooling people by saying stuff like that. if the platter has so much as a visible bump, there is no way of recovery. And, fyi, as soon as he took out the platter from the stack (assuming there were more than one platter which is true 99%% of the times), it was ALREADY impossible to recover. For anyone on this planet!

[juancastillo2006]

u know that when you open a hard drive you are expoesd to radation and you can die

[chaostheoryfilms]

Uhhh Ok......

[kfs777]

he's holding it way too close

[IronDr4gon]

I'm gonna do that with my old hdd with valauble info. Instead i'm gonna make hdd blow apart & set on fire by applying high voltage poer

[NotATube]

I can't wait to see your video of this. Particularly the bit where you're screaming in pain from all the bits of exploded hard drive shrapnel in your face!

[williamschad9]

There isss nooooooooooo way anybody is gonna retrieve that info. Great Idea. I have 10 hard drives sitting on my shelf that I am gonna do that to.

[AskEJean]

Chaostheoryfilms, You Handsome Devil You!

Your video was simply fantabulous. E.Jean lurves a man who knows his way around a hard drive!

Ravishing Regards,

E.Jean

[chaostheoryfilms]

Why thank you, and remember everybody keep your eyes open for more videos, end cut.
