That seems pretty good. If you have more time then $$, some things are pretty easy.
laptop drives shatter when dropped regular drives can take a sledge. You can disassemble the drive & sand/grind the magnetic coating. If you're less concerning than total destruction, there's the DBAN DVD to write/overwrite. I'd trust it enough with my personal quicken data, but not someone else's (whoever my employer is). Afterwards you could sell the drives for upwards of $1 ea on ebay :-) Take the bits to the metal recycling at the dump. Some shredders can handle DVDs & CDs. Tapes are a bit harder.
