Make a nice campfire (if you are in a rural area) or a ghetto-oven from a barrel (if you are in an urban area).

When the fire is ablaze, put the HDD in the center of the fire. Keep the fire burning for at least an hour or so, in order to let the magnetized surface of the HDD platters to loose their orientation, or even melt if they are made of aluminium.

You can mechanically damage HDD, but forensics experts have special hardware, where they can mount magnetic discs from any hdd and read them. So damaging HDD would only prolong your sentence by obstructing justice charges. Guess using SSD is the only viable alternative. You can quickly kill SSD by passing high voltage into it.
