This is also the officially supported US Government way. Not lying. I worked for a VAR with NASA and DHS contracts. Bad hard drives were bashed with a sledge like this before the top plate was sent to the manufacturer for RMA.
Muat be great stress relieve for the folks that do it as a side gig.

It looks cool, but that is a horrible handle. You want it to be wood or plastic so it dampens vibrations as much as it can, and smooth so one hand can slide down the handle from near the head to your other hand at the end as you swing. A couple minutes breaking up concrete with that and your hands would be numb, tingly, and probably bloody. Gloves would help, but using this will always suck.
Gloves, yes. But everything else actually isn't an issue. The mass involved here dampens better than when it still had the wood handle.

platters were bent
I thought HDD platters were supposed to be too brittle for that.
Depends on the drive. Glass or other ceramics were used at some point, but anything that is not magnetic should work. As long as it can be made completely flat and will withstand the spin speed.

(Small amounts of) alcohol is considered a PED in professional shooting. It steadies the hand.
