This dropped off the Recycling Requisition from Junkwatt Depo turn in. It summons the Data Anomaly for Baron Geddon at R33-DR.

As of writing this comment you can currently abandon the quest after summoning the elite and then pick it up from the item to summon an infinite amount of times, which is very helpful if you're farming for the Blueprint: Holographic Digitalization Relay.

If you have multiple of these Data Disks in your inventory, it will consume all of them on the quest turn in.

Each completed quest gives 45 rep, and it is repeatable .... so happy farming for Recycling Requisition (even tho the disc is NOT a 100% drop from the Even More Recycling reward...more like 20%ish)

Make sure you've completed the Discs of Norgannon quest first before you try to get this or any of the other special discs, as they won't drop before hand. This is one is most easily obtained from a Strange Recycling Requisition, which is most easily obtained from the repeatable recycling daily at Junkwatt Depot.

I got Scorched Data Disc from Strange Recycling Requisition after complete More Recycling.

The Discs of Norgannon daily allows players to summon a Data Anomaly.

There are ten types of Data Anomaly. You can stand by the location of the Data Anomaly after you've completed the quest and keep killing more in hopes of getting the rare loot. You can only kill each different Data Anomaly once per day.

Alternatively, you can farm Scorched Data Disc, Rust Covered Disc, Large Storage Fragment and use it to summon more Data Anomalies.

Here are some of the rewards that you can farm:

Vinyl: Battle of Gnomeregan for Junkyard Melomaniac. You have to unlock the gramophone first by getting Blueprint: Rustbolt Gramophone from the rare Steel Singer Freza. Afterwards the first tune "Ode to Tinkertown" will be already available and you can begin collecting the others.
Blueprint: Blue Spraybot for Junkyard Architect
Blueprint: Holographic Digitalization Relay for Junkyard Architect
Metal Detector

This item will spawn the rare elite Baron Geddon Data Anomaly.

Data Anomaly rares are spawned by turning in one of four items that drop from NPCs around the island:

Cracked Numeric Cylinder spawns Hogger or Razorclaw the Butcher.
Large Storage Fragment spawns Balnazzar or Captain Kromcrush.
Rust Covered Disc spawns Baron Kazum or Crowd Pummler 9-60.
Scorched Data Disc spawns Baron Geddon.

As Dragonkin451 discovered here, turning in one of these items will spawn one of the associated rare elites.* Like other rares, you will only receive loot on the first kill of each day, however this "lockout" is shared between the two elites for each item/group. If you've looted one rare elite, you can't loot the other one in the same group on the same day. For example, if you've looted Hogger today, Razorclaw won't drop loot.

Use this macro to determine which rare elites you can still loot today. "True" means you have already looted one of the NPCs in that group, and neither will drop more loot today. "False" means you can still loot either one of the listed NPCs.
/run for k, v in pairs({ Hogger_OR_Razorclaw = 57385, Balnazzar_OR_CaptainKromcrush = 57387, BaronKazum_OR_CrowdPummler960 = 57388, BaronGeddon = 57389}) do print(format("%s: %s", k, C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) and "true" or "false")) end

*Except Scorched Data Disc always spawns Baron Geddon.

This item can be looted from Reclamation rig reward box (Box of Assorted Parts) if you have completed Discs of Norgannon that day.

Comment by Xumenicus

Something I've discovered, and have tested enough to believe that my crazy theory isn't mere coincidence...

On the days when Discs of Norgannon is available (keep in mind that you have to have completed the daily first), when it's sunny out, turning in More Recycling yields Scorched Data Disc more often than not.

When it's raining, turning in More Recycling yields Rust Covered Disc more often than not.

I hope this helps.
