The advantages of working for a small company... the
sysadmin is a
long-time employee who's just moved into that role, he and I are good
buddies. And there's not anything worth $$$ data recovery on them
anyway.
I hate seeing perfectly good working equipment reduced
to low-value
scrap, so I'm wiping these drives at home on my own time to prevent
that.
Yep! I've watched thousand(s) of pounds of working hard drives get
shredded.
I have a hook-up to get some older drives from another company (1.5TB,
etc) and well... let's just say that "newer" used disks with 4 years on
them aren't very reliable. I'd imaigne the older ones hold up much better
since they were more expensive and less density.
