Re: I call bull

I took apart some HDD, and was rather surprised to see that there was a very powerful magnet inside - right next to the platters, part of the head moving mechanism.

If that is the case, you must need a hell of a magnetic field to wipe a HDD.

On the other hand, I now have some bloody strong fridge magnets!
