Q: How much is my used storage media or equipment worth?

Many factors affect the value of your equipment: Condition – New sealed, new open, refurbished, or Used Age Quantities Brands and Part Numbers Connection type – SATA, SAS, Fibre Size and Capacity Configuration Ship from location

Q: How is the data on my devices erased?

It depends on the type media / equipment Degaussing Degaussers are able to erase because they generate a magnetic field so powerful that it permanently removes the magnetic memory from the iron oxide which removes or randomized the data pattern. Depending on the type of media, different magnetic field strengths are required to effectively destroy magnetic memory. Modern tapes and hard drives require more magnetic strength. Depending on the type of media your organization uses, we will use the appropriate degausser to get the job done. Hard drives are not reusable after being degaussed. Some media types are reusable after degauss and some are not Data Destruction Certificate provided at no charge Overwrite and Reformat Proprietary and approved software and processes are in place for sure data eradication. Reformat and single as well as multiple pass overwrites of functional servo storage media, hard drives, and other equipment allow secure data destruction and reuse. Non-functional media are degaussed (de-magnetized) and recycled Data Destruction Certificate provided at no charge Please contact us with any data destruction questions and/or requirements.
