I find a big log splitter works wonders.

Thanks Gordon,

I did try once, using a 2lb club hammer and a 1" cold chisel long ago.
The chisel bent in the process! But I'll keep a lookout for a 2nd hand
log splitter in the meantime.

However, I don't want to destroy the disks. My data is purely personal
files. (no passwords), so I'll sleep easy with just a software wipe.


You guys have got some very, very weird ideas about threat models...

Is this where we find out by any chance that although you're not encrypting your computer drives at rest you think that it's important to secure wipe if not physically destroy your retired drives?

Hmmm.
