I have a bunch of hard disks that have come to the end of their useful life, I was thinking about physically destroying them, but that seems like a lot of work.

Nwipe and shreados are very popular. What are your thoughts on the effectiveness of nwipe?
We use nwipe at the office and are happy with it. It has a dod preset or you can stick with prng. We usually use prng and zeros.
If you have a ton of drives I think shredos can be automated with boot parameters. Could save a lot of time and/or let you scale wiping better
