We are decommissioning a system.

What is the best way to scratch the drives?

That's something I wouldn't mind knowing myself.

And of course, there's always the option of physical destruction.

If you have a way of connecting the drives to a PC, and getting it to even recognize them as physical drives, then you could use DBAN ("Darik's Boot and Nuke").

As it happens, we have a small carton of drives from decommissioned Midrange boxes. We've been able to reuse a very few of them, but mostly they just sit, on "death row," as it were.
