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...
It's more fun to set the hdd up on a fence or rock and target practice on it with a Colt .45 or .223 rifle. -- "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
