I have a bunch of hard disks that have come to the end of their useful life, I was thinking about physically destroying them, but that seems like a lot of work.

Nwipe and shreados are very popular. What are your thoughts on the effectiveness of nwipe?

I use a metal drill right through the platers. They shatter. Nobody cares about my dumb shit to recover that. Takes about 30 seconds per drive.
