If you erased the drive, then you can be assured that the data has been deleted absent someone using highly sophisticated recovery methods. If the data on it was extremely sensitive, though - government secret-level data, HIPAA-covered patient data, that sort of thing - then more extreme steps would probably be in order.


As to whether it's worth anything, you'll have to tell us what model of Mac it is and its specs before we can offer opinions.


Regards.
