So I run encrypted drives except for the odd thing where it would be a pain in the anoos, but what would... drive... someone to physically destroy the drives?
Literally the only thing I can think of is having massive amounts of illegal data but what would that even be.
Physically destroying drives is standard operating procedure. Big data centres and data brokers literally have a giant industrial shredder in the basement which shred and pulverise all obsolete hardware.
Anyone with any sort of fiduciary or legal duty to keep any data safe would also need to destroy data storage - think Lawyers, Doctors with their own clinics, Journalists, Police Officers etc. Now even people in finance need to worry about their data, because even the most inane shit like call logs from a mid to high level banker can be sold for a fuckton of money.
Or it could be plans for 9-11 part deux electric boogaloo, can't tell.
