@Ceyarrecks There's a whole industry around what's called "secure destruction". I don't know a lot about it other than I came across it in security research I was doing years ago. These vendors claim that physical destruction is the only reliable way to destroy old media with data on it. Of course, they have a vested interest in that. But, they also have a point. Not sure I buy the theory for operational spinning hard drives, which might be erasable (I'm not an expert). But for other media including SSD's, it could be a different story. I get very nervous when I go to a website to look for pricing and the only thing it says is "get a quote". I'm not necessarily recommending the following companies. They're just things I googled.
