[DM-MUG] 'old' Firelite FW HD -- what to do with it?

[Jon Thompson]

My other lawyer clients require that a hard drive be drilled through  
several times with a large bit.

However, have you run diskwarrior on it?  It could still be a  
software failure (unless you hear a click, click).

I would still try and repair it, so you can do a secure erase of the  
drive, then take a drill to it several times.
