    Any one with 2 brain cells would have known you don't sell hard drives with out scrubbing the data.

    You can get hard drive scrubbers with Military grade scrubbers on them for a $30-$50 so its not hard to do.

    The only safe way to clear a hard drive full of sensitive data is to use a heavy object or lots of fire. There's a reason why hard drives aren't included with military surplus laptops.
    Shoot first, ask questions later.

    Yeah, the data is never really deleted.....fire is probably the best way to dispose of them.

    Military grade scrubbers (which scramble the data on hard drives) do it so well that no one can read that data.

    Burning the drives works but you can't re-use that drive again.
