I've found a few cheap hard drives at thrift stores. I used to buy them just in case someone had left a crypto wallet on them.

They're usually formatted but not wiped, so even recuva was typically able to claw back all of the missing data and restore the whole drive.

Family photos, nudes, sex videos (homemade and professional), downloaded movies, pirated games, I've found them all.

If you're dumping a drive and you don't DBAN it first, other people getting to see your shit is 100% on you.

You left out the most interesting part - did you find any BTC?

No, I would have included that otherwise, lol.
