Depending on what level of security you need, your only option may be to destroy the drive by throwing it into a running NMR scanner machine (not really, but exposing the drive to a strong rapidly changing magnetic field would probably make it sufficiently difficult to recover anything written to the drive). It may be a bit on the expensive side, though. How much monetary value can a second-hand 120GB USB drive have nowadays?
It's not the drive, it's the huge superconductor magnets you need to destroy the micromagnetic traces of bits written to the drive in the past. -- Jure Koren, n.i.
