Although it's not valuable in terms of scrap, I think it'd be very informative if you posted a followup where you try to isolate some of the components and base metals, sort of a before and after 'these metals are in a hard drive'. Regardless, excellently fun video

2016-05-22 05:28:12 +0000 UTCgreat info, I actually need to destroy a large quantity of hard drive platters I have removed from scrapped drives. I already recycled the boards, cases and head assemblies, but I didnt have a cheap way to securely destroy the platters other then physical destruction which is very time consuming
