Until that encryption is broken. Maybe not today, or tomorrow, or next week, or next month.

But if the business is paying the money to have the disks shredded, then there’s probably a good reason to do so. I wouldn’t want to find out that my bank sold their old (server) drives to the public.

The problem is is that I severely doubt that there's anything of value on it. Have you any idea how many disks are full of banal static?

And how many disks aren’t full of banal static?

Should we recycle drives? Abso-fucking-lately; make the AI data centers run on refurbed drives.
