My 3.0 portable HD was corrupted, I've got personal data on it and I wanted to prevent any randoms from accessing it. I am not very tool-savvy, so I just broke the circuit board, and repeatably bashed it with a hammer on both sides. I wasn't able to access the platter but I did hear some broken shards on the inside traveling around when I would shake it, so I either broke the platter just by hitting with impact, or there was something else in there that broke. Thoughts?

Braking the circuit board or the header do nothing! It's all about the platters inside, some hard-disk contain many platter layers.
