The media is in the center of the plastic. All this does is scratch the plastic, while leaving the actual media un-touched. 3 seconds in the microwave does a much better job.

The data on that cd would have not got distroyed like that. The device did scrape a patten onto the cd! but he did it on wrong side! the data is stored on the non reflective side! on other side. somebody could have still been able to get the data! if they replaced the layer you scratched.
I am just comment this in the hope it will make people do the correct side of the cd. or do both

The easiest way to make a CD unreadable is breaking it by folding. Even if you reattach it, it’s very hard to make the data on the edges match. That gadget is useful if you want use the disc later as a fancy decoration or a clock dial

Gee, a few swipes of my knife across the top does a fine job. Yeah maybe someone can recover a few bits, with much effort, but my data isn’t exactly top security stuff. If I really sweated it, the microwave can finish it.

It would be possible to recover the cd as the information is stored on the underside of the top layer of the CD and not the bottom of the disc itself..

I can save you $26.72 by using a common household appliances. Run the disc through the dishwasher. Turns the disc into a usable ashtray. And if that doesn’t work, try the oven.

Looks like another gimmick to throw more money at. When I have a CD that needs destroying, and I don’t feel like just scratching it up with a key or a knife, I’ll pop it into the microwave for a few seconds. It really does a good job of destroying it. Look to youtube and search for ‘microwave CD’.

No need to get any software/equipment to destroy CD/DVD’s just put it in a microwave for about 10 seconds. It’s really destroyed. Don
