I am finally clearing out some of my old kit.

Hard rives around the 160Gb size, for example.
So comparable to a £10 SDHC card.

Is there a sensible way to format them clean?
Do people still trawl through old HDDs to try and find account information?

Or is putting a hammer through it the easiest/safest way?

I have gone past trying to save interesting and useful components.
My hoard of technical obsolete crap is going to be reduced!

Cheers
