This is not absolutely true.
Our security experts have methods which don't require the disk to rotate in
order to retrieve the data.

Hi Peter.
You need to remove the hard drive from the casing it is enclosed in, then using
a large bore drill, drill out the centre hub of the drive which contains the
spindle mechanism controlling the heads. This will not only destroy the rotary
mechanism but will also permanently damage the platters which may or may not
shatter. You’d be best to do the drilling part outside as the drive may
contain toxic chemicals, however the upshot is that even the most determined
computer expert will find it near impossible to reassemble the drive and you
can forget about anyone getting data off it.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Greetings
What do people do to ensure that failed drives cannot be revived and sensitive
information misused please?
Thanks
