Neither has a single conclusion - they both offer loads of options but agree that mechanical destruction or fire are the way to go. There is no good reason to bring that question over here. | |

| Oct 29, 2013 at 14:51 | comment | added | b_jonas | No, it is not a dupe. A hard disk is inside a hard case and stores data magnetically, which differs a lot from a cd. The best way to destroy them is also very different, as you can see from the answers: you destroy a cd with a shredder, which won't work for a hard disk. | |

| Oct 29, 2013 at 12:22 | comment | added | b_jonas | What dupe are you talking about? I might not have made this my goal clear in the question. If someone searches "destroy cd" in the search box of Information Security SE, he doesn't currently find a relevant question. I'd like the answer searchable here. | |
