Recommendations Destroying Storage Media??
tinjaw:
I am moving in the next few days. I am throwing away everything I can bare to throw away so I need no move it. This will include several Compact Flash, USB memory sticks, and hard drives. I will be physically destroying all of them, but I still want to wipe them first. I was looking at Eraser. Has anybody used it? There is plenty of freeware and open source programs of this type, so I don't want to pay for anything. What do you recomment?
mouser:
Eraser is very good.
hollowlife1987:
DBAN is also supposed to be very good and it its a bootable floppy

Also as a side note it is sad to see hardware go to waste, maybe you should think bout donating it somewhere.

We are talking completely useless stuff that has been sitting in my garage. Stuff like a 4 MEGAbyte CF card. An 8 MEGAbyte USB stick. This is all stuff you can't even buy anymore.

Ah i see, i hate to go off topic but i know some children museums and PC recycling plants will gladly take the stuff :)
