Well, if you want to dispose the disk, then i'd use something like Dariks Boot 
and Nuke (DBAN):

It offers really secure methods of overwriting your data with varying patterns,
and if you want to dispose a whole disk. then maybe an userspace tool to delete 
single
files is not the best suited tool, IMHO.
