There are machines

They are deployable on trucks with on site document destruction
services, and I know of two friends here in Orange Country who have
bought them.
They are also useful if you are also doing your own high-grade gold
refining pass, for preparation of material. The two recycling operators
I know are probably doing this process as well. Most gold recover folks
are not trusted.

What's wrong with the "disassemble and
rend with heavy hammer" approach?
Doesn't that render the platters un-readable, if done with sufficient
ardor?
Bending the platters will keep them from turning and being usable in
the drive, but does NOT prevent various other imaging methods.
Breaking a platter in half doesn't prevent those techniques.
