That upsets the physical balance, making transplant and analysis just that much harder.

Commercially I have seen stick welders used to burn through the entire drive after it was degaussed.  Quick and easy.  

Smacking drives with a sledge is a bit frustrating, as it takes a bit to break them up and you are never really sure.  But it also works (at least to a commercial level.)
