Assuming you don't already have a legal or regulatory
required process, I recommend using a drill press on your disks,
then feeding them to an electronics recycler. Once you've made
a quarter inch hole all the way from the case through the disks
to the other side of the case, nobody will be casually
recovering your data.

The SANs and NetApps might be worth something to a reseller --
you could try vibrant.com.
