It depends on how paranoid you are. It's nearly impossible to recover data from a drive that's in pieces. If you don't want to destroy hardware: 1. Write random data to hard drives. 2. For SSDs, many support TCG OPAL. If so, rekey the drive. I've used this software[0] and this command[1]. If your drive doesn't support OPAL, you're on your own. Due to reallocation and over-provisioning, it's impossible to tell if your data is still on the drive even if you've completely overwritten it.
