I'm just sitting here wondering how tf they did this....
Did they put it in a bending brake?
They obviously installed it in a laptop and closed the lid before they were finished.
It's a machine designed to destroy hard drives. They use a hydraulic ram to bend it and shatter the platters.
Which is overkill when you can get the same result by just drilling a hole into the drive.
It depends on how many drives you have to destroy. These things can be pretty quick and do hundreds or thousands of drives without much work.
