I just can’t really resell a disk I’ve drilled through (at the very least it’d lose most of its remaining value). And while I can try to post a sign in front of my door stating that I’d like to physically destroy my disks before they get stolen, I doubt most thieves would respect that.
When I dispose of my hard drives, I encrypt whatever data is on it with a drill. I’ve also used an AR-15, a .45 1911, an axe, and a screwdriver.
It turns out you reasonably prevent unintentional data leaks with almost anything and a can-do attitude.
Sure, I could encrypt the data using software. But hear me out: bzzz, bang bang, whomp, clink clink clink.

You should consider having more polite thieves. You wouldn’t be friends with an asshole, right? So why are you letting yourself get robbed by one?
