How to completely Wipe a SSD/HDD to prevent data recovery?

[X-Gamer]

Hi,

I have couple of HDD/SSD which i plan on selling, although I do not have any personal data on there, I would still like to wipe it clean so that it cannot be recovered, is there any way to do this?

I do this and throw away the HDD.

Today killed by 3TB Sata HDD, unused for past 1+ years, when connected today, it was making loud noise and HDD sentinel showed health 25%. It had lots of official data to kill it completely.

But luckily managed to get restrive old family videos/photos from same.

Here is what i did for kids to play around with
Wonder how can i take off that round part from HDD..
