I seen & heard of using a Raspberry Pi as an automatic disk wiper. The script monitored for a drive inserted into a connected dock and ran shred.
Disk Wipe in Linux?

erm...
does not really need a gui. replace x with the letter of the drive you want to wipe.
Code:
dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sdx

Yep. And you can open up one terminal for each device. I don't like sending them to the back ground since I like to see any messages that might come up. I'll set the machine up in a corner fire up how ever many terminals I need and walk away.

I have always wanted to build a mid-evil type of drive crusher for one of those (nothing else to do on a weekend) projects. I'm thinking two sledge hammer heads welded together face to face to make a nice heavy cylinder with a little eye welded to one end with witch to attach a very strong, thin nylon cord. Some guide rails of about 10FT tall and a small pulley and hand crank to hoist the hammer up to the top, then some means of releasing it. Great fun, only problem is I never have one of those (weekends with nothing to do)
