Why? That ensures that it is destroyed. HDDs are irreparably destroyed when you unscrew them.

phflack please are you joking
magnetic hard drive disks are extremely sensitive to any physical matter touching them
one particulate of dust landing on a hard drive (no matter how small the dust particle) could easily destroy huge sectors of data
