      Big magnets will only pull the arm off the plates and leave the data intact. Also why waste good hardware when all it needs is a couple of writes with all zeroes and ones?

      Mircrowave.

      Just take out anything LiON prior to nuking, and as much pure metal housing as you can.

      And also plan on getting a new microwave.

      And have a fire extinguisher on hand.

        and do it outside and throw the microwave away so you don’t die from NO2 poisoning…
