    You need bigger tools. An 8+ pound sledge hammer. Just be sure the smashing happens on concrete or any hard flat surface. Hit the area where the platters would be. Should only take 1 - 3 hits a piece. Once you hear sand inside you’re done.

    My 30lb sledge delete drives in one hit usually. Turns the platters back into dust lol.
