Have you ever wanted to open up an old hard drive? Whether it's to permanently delete your data or to better understand how a disk drive works, I'm going to be showing you how to do it yourself. Note: Doing this is not reversible and can damage your hard drive. I am doing this on a junk hard drive, take caution when you do it yourself.
