When I need to erase data from an d drive I drive a nail through the drive a few times. Glass plates shatter really well. The data is still recoverable I'm sure, but the amount of resources it takes would be prohibitive to pretty much anyone unless the fate of the world hangs in the balance. For new drives I started using full-disk encryption. And the hammer.
