@JulianOliver for anyone watching this, you don't need to use destructive methods such as hammers or arrows or drills.

You can also overwrite your disks and reuse them 💯

I would keep drives against possibly re using but most of the time these disks are either, too slow, too small or won't respond when you try to use / DBan them.

Fortunately my city council hires a disk shredder once a year and for a donation to the library I can shred all the disk I want. Working diskless devices go to a re-use charity
