I had a drive which bit the dust recently, first clicking, proceded to
smoke as one of the wires shorted out. So this drive is dead. I was
wondering if there was a good way to destroy the data on there before I
send it back. I was thinking some sort of magnet, but I'm not sure how
strong of one I need. The drive is useless, but I am not sure if the
manufacturer will try to just fix it and refurbish it or simply just toss
it. Anyone have any ideas?
