If I wanted to reduce a drive to slag, I?d just put it in a propane furnace (actually the
drive would
go into the crucible). They generate up to 2700F (~1500C) and they?re for melting gold,
silver, copper,
etc. So I suspect it would do the job. ;-) Plus you?d a nice molten mess that you can
pour out.

That's way too good for these *&#$ing ST3000DM001 drives, and won't provide
anywhere near enough sense of satisfaction.
Do you really think people are going
thru your stuff looking for data?
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.
