So my SSD died last month. I've already replaced the SSD but the old dead one is still sitting on my desk. What do I do with it? Or more specifically, how do I properly get rid of it?

which SSD is it?

 

Some SSD's can be revived (my agility gen 1 was broken but I fixed it with a special firmware)

Especially because RMA isn't an option anymore with that SSD.

Write on it "DeViLzzz hates SSDs especially when gamers buy them." and take a picture of it and post it here. Then take the SSD and light it on fire all the while shooting video of it and then post it here.

Too many ****ing games!  Back log 4 life! :S

You could apply some adhesive foam to the bottom and have a very high class drink coaster  :D

An expensive coaster sounds like a good idea but I would prefer to get rid of it. Don't want to hoard stuff around my room :( Just worried that people might be able to "revive" the drive and steal data. Don't want that to happen.

Well, I'm collecting 2.5' drives and using them as coasters for glasses and such. :D
