Some businesses and organizations (banks and government agencies, for 
example) have some insane standards on drive destructions. Writing 32 
passes of random data and then taking the thing apart and using the 
platters as coasters doesn't cut it. The drives need to be bulk-erased a 
few thousand times and then SHREDDED. You do NOT take chances with 
sensitive data. Or you shouldn't, anyway.
