[QUOTE="greytdanehouse, post: 4287463, member: 51135"] External USB hard drive. You can buy an empty drive case for about $20 on Amazon. Put the drive in it and then windows will automatically recognize it and assign a drive letter unless the drive is damaged. If it's not damaged, format it and use it as a back up drive. Or pull the drive and just hit it with a hammer a dozen or so times. The platters in the drive will shatter and anything on there will be virtually impossible to recover. Maybe by a specialty forensics lab somewhere at $1000 per hour. Probably not by a dumpster diver. Or since we're on OK Shooters, they do jump around when hit by a high velocity projectile. [/QUOTE]
