Why Sell Used Data Tape Media Instead of Disposing of It?
Many organizations still store valuable data on tape long after systems are retired. Simply discarding tape media creates unnecessary security risks and wasted value. Selling your used data tape media allows you to:
Recover value from idle IT assets
Eliminate data security risks tied to stored media
Maintain compliance with data protection regulations
Free up physical storage space
Support sustainability and responsible reuse
If you’re asking yourself, “How do I safely sell used data tape media?”—you’re in the right place.

Clear
A controlled overwrite process that writes a random test pattern to the tape and certifies it for reuse.
Purge
A full data erasure process that permanently removes all data and certifies the tape for reuse where allowed.
Destroy
Physical degaussing that renders the tape unreadable and ensures complete data eradication.
All services are documented, auditable, and aligned with recognized data sanitization standards.
