The degausser was acting like an induction heater to the HDD case. Barely any EMF was getting into the drive itself.

What you could do is fire the drive a few hundred miles into space so that it is exposed to raw solar radiation. All those gamma rays bombarding the HDD plates should erase everything just fine. Make sure to wear a lead-lined hazmat suit with your catcher's mit as the drive may become radioactive.
