I work as a tech at Future Shop (A canadian electronics store that got bought by Best Buy) and we DO have a piece of software called Eraser, that's specifically designed, by FS technicians, to wipe hard drives. It erases them not once, but three times, to hopefully get rid of ghost images. Now, that said, if we say we're going to destroy a piece of hardware, we do just that, and shatter the bugger (ie. pry the case open and have at 'er)
