Fire destroys everything 🫡
Discussion
In a previous job, one of the guys I worked with got hold of the chemicals to make thermite which we used to destroy some old hard drives! Pretty sure nothing would be recoverable from them after that! 😂
Nice!! Exactly. You've gotta fully make it irrecoverable. Breaking or microwaving only prevents standard means of recovery. Forensics can still retrieve artifacts.

You need to burn it and/or pulverize it to the point it's turned to ashes. The only way to be certain.
A multiple step process for sure. Microwave is good for simple sd cards and flash memory when time is of the essence. Fire is great, but kinda toxic, still, it works. Hammer, sandpaper, then drill for mechanical drives etc, grind to a pulp or thermite. So many fun ways to destroy data :)
Thermite is just aluminum powder and iron oxide (rust). Pretty sure you have that lying around the house
