I'm just sitting here wondering how tf they did this....

Did they put it in a bending brake?

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 6 months ago

They obviously installed it in a laptop and closed the lid before they were finished.

It's a machine designed to destroy hard drives. They use a hydraulic ram to bend it and shatter the platters.

Which is overkill when you can get the same result by just drilling a hole into the drive.

It depends on how many drives you have to destroy. These things can be pretty quick and do hundreds or thousands of drives without much work.
