I would back up your data to an external drive so you have a copy in case of 
sudden cases of needing it 

Then if possible do a secure eraise on the drive,

This is better done from using a bootable flash  drive and I would recommend a 
secure eraise of 4 times to be really sure it can't be read again.
Or at least easily.
