anyone here know if h/d manufacturers have installed
purchaseable h/d with the ability to self-destruct if its
outer case is touched with a 'screw-driver'?

in other words, try to fiddle, and the drive is diddled.

Do you mean like the Mission Impossible tape self destructing? :-\

I can see it now. The Is-Lame-ists will buy the entire production of
these self-destructing hard disk drives to extract the 1.414 picograms
each drive contains of Tritonol to make an IED. That should keep them
busy a while, though.

You could install BugHunter and skip using any hand tools.

Hello,

I assume you are referring to those external hard disk drives.

If you open the case (not the hard disk), the warranty will be void, as the
sticker will also be torn in the process. No self-destruction there. But you
should be able to replace to another hard disk if that is your intention to
do so.

But, if you open the hard disk itself (the 'thing' inside the case), you
will cause damage as they are very sensitive to the environment.

See wikipedia for more details

Not sure what you'd want one for. If you're interested in a semi-automatic
way to destroy evrything on your disk, look at the 'Darik's Boot and Nuke'
option in Eraser. Create the 'Nuke' disk, pop it in and reboot.

Use with extreme caution.
