Anyways im probably going to unscrew the drive tommorow as it looks as if the data might have been ruined.
I don't get it. You might as well hit it with a sledgehammer. Why not just loving blowtorch it until it melts? The potential data on the drive is
far more interesting, but if you're going to destroy it like a child, why not do it in a more exciting way?
At-least that way you have a cool video to send us instead of "Hey guys I found a secret hard drive and decided to break it and destroy all the data"
