I’d argue that people who travel 300-350km / day are outliers. For those people, maybe an EV isn’t an option yet.

Shred is what I used when destroying a bunch of old drives.

Then I disassbled them to pull out the magnets and platters (because they’re shiny and cool). A couple had torx screws that I didn’t have the right end for so I ran a hdd magnet over the surface and scratched them with a screwdriver.
