My boss just handed me a box full of old hard drives and told

You upload them to your computer and blackmail co-workers

Shred service. They wil shred them in front of you. Yes someone can still pull a tiny bit of data after shredding but chances of making sense of the data is almost impossible.

Blast them with piss

Ebay

why not keep em and use em?

1.) DBAN
2.) Disassemble / remove platters
3.) Magnets to platters
4.) Destroy platters
5.) Dispose in different trash containers

This. I was given used parts that have been replaced, older but still high end, from my workplace. CPU, SSD, HDDs, GPU.. Just format and use them in your PC, OP.

>>58779723
If they contain info like ssn on them he might get into a lot of trouble for that if anyone ever found out

>>58779604
Drill
Torx screwdriver and hammer

If it's corporate data, a DBAN pass will completely destroy it and keep the hard drives sellable.

But your boss probably won't like that.
If you want to make your boss happy, treat the drives to a hammer.
If you want to make some money on the side AND be sure that the data is completely destroyed, dban them all.

This. Even if it's old shit, some people will buy them as replacement parts.

>implying your boss would trust you to dispose of them if they contained anything sensitive

Just DBAN and put them in the dumpster. If you have company money to spend then take them to a shredding service.

>>58779604
Sell them to the FBI or competing companies depending on whats on the drives.

>>58779983
Or use DBAN and build a NAS

This and only this, they also give you a certificate of destruction that you can use later to prove you destroyed them in case data gets out via different means to clear yourself.

Just hide them so he thinks you did a good job and you get GBP

Just stomp on them outside.

>>58780392
Just like you should hide your identity by not using a tripcode.

>>58779604
1) sata secure erase
2) throw in the trash

>>58780241
You mean with a cloth or something?

>>58779604

format them then sell

Or use them yourself

Data erasure expert here. For your situation just remove the plates and burn them in a container with cotton and alcohol, then recycle the metal or throw it away or whatever. If you want to feel like a 1337 haxx0r you can wipe them first, but there's really not reason to.

>>58779604
Dban

>>58780224
I could still recover that data

>What's the proper way to dispose of those things? Environmentally?
DBAN

>data-security wise?
