Old time musician. Big time recording studio. Magnetics, degaussing, etc. well known. Works for tape. Platters so so well. Security requires all best efforts. By the way, drilling a few holes does not prevent recover of data. Been there, done that, got 90 percent. Up to the client to fill in the ten percent. But we did recover.

And in this world of hard drives/data storage, we have to be on top of this. Most serious.

I have no experience for SSD, but can those be truly wiped? Magnetic is a no, until substrate is sandblasted off the platters.
