Re: [SAGE] Hard Drive Degausser or physical destroyer

I have used the V91  -  it works, but hold onto that hard drive!! It'll 
shake it around like crazy, and then it will get very hot to the touch.  
Also, be sure to hold the drive in the magnetic field for a long enough 
period of time. 

Sometimes, I felt like it would've been easier to just use a 
drill-press. . .
