    Returning to this thread as I was looking at ramping up my services based on a few new large clients I have obtained. A shredder is financially not viable for me, but I have seen people compare using a shredder to "killing and ant with a tank". The simplest way I heard is to drill 3 holes through the platter and circuit board. This brought up a couple questions for me:

    1: Will drilling offer a level of security that might be acceptable to compliance groups (like R2)? Or do they require a more dramatic approach like crushing/shredding?



    2: Has anyone done this and had any problems selling the drilled circuit boards at the same cost as non-drilled boards?

    3: If you have done this, what size drill bit is effective and what locations on the drive do you drill?
