I am wiping prior to disposal hundreds of hard drives. They are mostly
SCSI drives, but there is the occasional oddball. I have been using a
software solution (dd /dev/zero onto every bit seven times) but this fails
if the disk will not format. I am looking for a hardware solution: I take
the disk out and run it through a massive electromagnet or something like
that. A google search only turns up software programs. Is anyone familiar
with a hardware solution? TIA; summary will follow.
