Sure, but do you expect someone to find your hard drive and put that much money and effort into extracting your data? For most people, it's just that you don't want some random person finding your hard drive in a second hand store and checking out your files.
My thought exactly. Just to put my two cents in, I'd start by using GParted to blow away any partitions on the drive, create four primary partitions and format them ext4. Then I'd blow them away, create one partition and format it NTFS, which is probably what whoever ends up with the drive will want. That won't remove the data, of course, but it will ensure that the average layman won't be able to recover it, and for most people, that's all you're likely to need.
