I just wanted to get the hard drive OUT because I was throwing my Time Capsule away. I no longer used it. I didn't wanna put up with all the fiddling around so I just used a metal cutting Bosch band saw and simply sawed the entire Apple device in half and then I used an acetylene torch on what was left of the hard drive to melt it into a 5,000° molten puddle.
I don’t think data theives will be able to get anything off that drive of mine!
