Most hard drives seem quite indestructible. What is the best method of

Sounds good to me except for the pollution.

I take a 3 pound "engineer's hammer" to them. It can destroy the cast
aluminum housing and platter beneath.

If you take a cover off you can use a Neodymium magnet over the
surface of the disk...

Could end up in a Basking sharks stomach. There was a big one off shore
recently.

Basking sharks are filter feeders, and hard drives sink.

I did get to see one up close ~30 miles offshore fishing once. The
sheer size of the thing was impressive, longer than my 20' boat.

The one seen here the other week was evidently over 25 feet.
