I know this post is in jest, but

Downright evil 😈. Threw perfectly good wind chimes in the trash. And the magnets. We always need more magnets!

Anyone wants to know what to really do with old drives? If broken or end of useful life?

Recycle, people! Grab a screwdriver, crack that sucker open and take what you want, sell the rest to your local scrap recyclers.

If it's got any life left, don't forget to overwrite everything on it with copies of Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Roll.

Rick Roll the famous gymnast?

Silence, spinning rust. Your whines and incessant vibration is why you have been banished by The Good Computer. Now you must work in the NAS pits until you perish.
