I prefer the sledgehammer method.

Or keep it, buy a case for it and use it as an external drive for your new machine.
Apple has built in to their OS an optional "secure empty trash" function which basically writes nonsense data over the files being deleted.

But I have some bare SCSI drives that I want to discard. Unfortunately, I don't have any working computers with SCSI drives or ports (I do have a SCSI external enclosure). I could probably get an adapter I guess.
