Found laptop drive are the best for protecting your data, the
platters are plastic so they shatter into a gazillion little pieces.
Some of the 3.5s have plastic platters too. My 8 year old son
periodically spends a couple hours taking apart dead drives from my
ever-growing collection, and he managed to shatter the platter on
one just last week. I don't recall which brand it was but it was
large enough that it was probably less than 5 years old.

Im wondering how plastic platters hold data as hard drives are a
magnetic based storage medium o.O
