Nope.
take the board off first. Some buyers might not like the boards smashed to bits.

... and sell the boards separate to another ewaste recycler - HD boards are around $10-$11/lb. But like the others said, it doesn't decrease the value. Most of us need to do some sort of breaking/destruction of the drive to assure non-recovery of data.Originally Posted by drozenski

Anything we do that breaks the drive is nothing compared to what's going to happen it.

Yeah exactly what i mean there could be credit card numbers on that drive and could lead to identity theft.

run the disks thru a heavy duty paper shredder. Then you can sell the pieces by the shoebox full.
