What the hell is this!!! was Re: I need a ST-419 hard drive - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

--- I opened up the 419 drive, No wonder it failed, someone drilled a 5/16"
...
 hole thru the cover and all three platters!  This thing
was mounted under a
circuit board and inside a steel case. Everything was very neatly put back
together.  Who would go to that much trouble to wreck a drive and why?

Gads! I've heard of reformatting old drives for security reasones, but this
one takes the Cake...
Quick and easy way to eliminate a data getting in the wrong hands I guess..
