Solved WD Hard Drive Cover Removing Screws Help!

  • 1

I have a few old western digital hard drives that I want to physically destroy but I am unable to take the screws off the cover. They are star shaped and I have tried many different screwdrivers to no avail. Which screwdriver or tool does anyone recommend to remove these stubborn wd hard drive covers? Many thanks.

      You will need a Torx 9 driver to open the drive. there is a screw under one of the labels too so make sure you remove that too. From there you can smash away at the platter and render the drive useless.
