WORM Disks

Does anyone know how to destroy data on a Write-once magneto-optical disk?

Re: WORM Disks

There is no way of destroying data other than literal physical destruction, due to the 'write once' nature of the media, which does not allow overwriting the data.

Short of taking a hammer, it is sufficient if you hold back the slider and mark the surface of the media with a non-eraseable marker thorougly.

Re: WORM Disks

Acetone may dissolve the surface of the disk.
