I don't know if this is a joke or what, but, this will not make data on
harddrives unrecoverable. I see stories on the news, etc. sometimes about
taking a drill or other device to your harddrive, or individual drive
platters.. etc.. given, there are not many people who would go to such
lengths to recover data from them, but it's still possible.
BTW, if anybody goes and takes their harddrives apart or otherwise
destroys them... I know an artist who wants the magnets from them.
