Possibly. Your best bet is always going to be complete physical destruction of the platters for spinny disks, and the chips for flash media.

Thermite oughtta do it.

Alternatively, nuke it from orbit.

Full-disk encryption will hinder the process as well, provided they don't apply rubber-hose cryptanalysis.

Personally, if I were truly paranoid, I'd buy new drives, apply a random pattern to every block (several times) before use, use full-disk encryption during use, and when it's time to discard, wipe using DOD-compliant processes, and then utterly destroy the media.

I'm not that paranoid.
