I’ve seen one of these shredders in action. You can just throw in a handful of full 3.5 inch drives and they just fucking vanish.


Indeed. In our case mobile shredding services would pull up to our datacenters around the world and DC Operations would bring them out on a cart. They scan the serial numbers and then same deal, into the machine, out as tiny specs of metal.


Ever do a whole chicken or pig? You know, for science?


There wouldn’t be much science. It would definitely just vanish.
