Exposing hard drive platters to extreme heat destroys magnetic data domains

the verdict
COMMON KNOWLEDGE
Legacy classification; evidence review pending
Recorded sources
no sources on either side

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that exposing hard drive platters to extreme heat destroys magnetic data domains?

Exceeding the Curie temperature of a magnetic material via extreme heat disrupts its magnetic ordering and destroys stored data domains, which is a matter of basic physical observation and well-established scientific principle.
