I recalled an experiment conducted locally knocking on for 40 years ago when HDs were big: use a big feck off demagnetiser.

Apply power. More power Igor. More more power Igor.

Turn power off Igor.

It didn't touch a single bit of data on the drive in question.

But it fecked up every credit card in the assembled experimenters' possessions.
