From what I've read if you have REALLY sensitive information on it, then it's not worth the money to sell the drive. Hackers will find a way if they really wanted to. Just keep it or physically destroy it, but unless you are Gal Gadot recording homemade porn or banking profiles on it I wouldn't worry too much. IMO just format it.
Personally when I upgraded to SSD, I just kept my old hard drive to hold backups (I have 3 iPhone backups in there that took a huge chunk of memory) and random old Chinese movies that you can't find on streaming sites anymore.
