Kinda blows away this theory:

»Re: Best way to physically destroy hard drive?
Not entirely ...

"... Two other hard drives aboard the Columbia were too severely damaged to extract any useable data, he added. Edwards said the older Seagate hard drive -- about eight-years-old in 2003 -- featured much greater fault tolerance and durability than current hard drives of similar capacity. ..."

Does give some credence to the latest not always the greatest.

Edit: fixed typo
i have an old 1 giger that works way better then my newer drive

 How's that "way better" ?

I can understand people say those older drive has better quality (may be better QA and QC) at the time they were manufactured compare to these days' , but i can't see how they are better?

Older drives used aluminum platters, whereas some of the new drivers are using glass platters. It takes effort to destroy aluminum platters. The glass ones, well they shatter into pieces with almost no effort.
