Lol - if you are worried about that, a hammer is of little use if the platter survives. Less destructive would be a Department of Defense level wipe of the drive, reformat and reuse it. If you really want to destroy the drive, get a 3/8ths drill bit and drill about 8 holes around the outline of the platter. That effectively prevents reading the platter by other parties.
