How to Secure Erase Hard Drive or Flash Drive Data?

Want to Securely Wipe Your Hard Drive or Flash Drive Files?
Situation1: Hello! My Seagate backup plus external hard drive has been used on my computer for almost 3 years and becomes really slow recently. It also gets much drive errors in recent months and just sees to be failing. So, I just plan to buy a new WD removable hard drive to instead this Seagate one. Though I do have backed up everything inside this old drive to the computer partitions, I just also worry the stored sensitive or private data will be restored by someone vicious. Do you have any idea about how to securely wipe this external hard drive?
