If you want to destroy it, you can drill a hole through the platter.

Well technically nothing is "unrecoverable" when wiping via software methods. Darik's Boot And Nuke will get you as close as you can.
Good luck

Active KillDisk works well. They use plenty of options for speed and also security of the method. They use DoD method as well as the best, Gutman method, but it's also the slowest.
