If you are to toss the drive: Use a 10 mm drill . Just make a couple of holes thru the whole case and you are done. Fast, secure and cheep... I've done that procedure at work where a bank left some workstations to be disposed of. A nice 10 mm drill, redecorate the case to resemble a swiss cheese.. and presto! Nothing is getting of THAT drive in a hurry...
