What about a nuclear bomb?
OK, if we're going to start being _really_ silly..... drop them into a
singularity! :-)
The best part is that you'll get to watch them being ripped apart and
destroyed by tidal forces _forever_ (since time dilation means that as they go
over the event horizon, their local time seems to stop compared to ours).

How about removing the (presumably aluminum) platters, case castings, and any other
aluminum parts, grinding it all down to fine aluminum flakes, making thermite out of that,
then using it to slag the rest of the non-aluminum parts?
Then shoot the slag pile with a .50 BMG.
Then drop that into lava.
Then scoop out the contaminated lava and drop it into a singularity.
Becase overkill is best kind of kill.
Did I miss any steps?
Oh, yeah: Play country music the whole time, to make it all more painful for the drives.

OR carfully pack that into the original Seagate package, gift-wrap it, and
let it get stolen.

We might have to draw a line at some point.
Although country music would make a good soundtrack for the YouTube video
"How to refurbish an ST3000DM001"
Need some SEO to make that the first hit on every search for Seagate.
Q: Is that the worst drive you've ever encountered?

You forgot to degauss the platters first.
