[ale] Off Topic, hard drive shredder

[Scott Denlinger]

Sounds like it might be viable, especially for those companies that don't have
staff know-how to do secure drive overwriting or reformatting. How would you
establish or verify that you are in fact shredding the drives? If I had a
mandate that my drives are shredded, I would want to be able to verify that
drives I send you were in fact shredded, and not just reformatted and sold.
Would you provide streamed video evidence that shows my drive with its serial
number being thrown in the bin, or put in the slot, or whereever it goes?
