Hmmm...  OK   take a  giant  sledge and beat the living  hell out  of  it


Great  physical release and   data  pretty well   toast... and the sound is.... glorious!
 
And  besides.... you get  some  exercise!

No, not worried about that at all. Disk was encrypted (dmcrypt/LUKS) and
keys have been destroyed. Not to mention that most of these drives managed
to destroy the data on their own initiative.
