Frequently Asked Questions
Why Sell Your Used Hitachi Hard Drives?
Unused, idle Hitachi hard drives can offer added value if sold, providing you with extra cash instead of simply taking up space. If your used Hitachi hard drives are in reasonably good condition, hold a fair resale value, and you don’t plan to repurpose them, selling is a smarter choice than opting for physical destruction or recycling.

Though data security may be a concern when selling old Hitachi hard drives, our data destruction services allow for complete, secure deletion of residual data, ensuring it cannot be recovered by anyone.

Is It Safe To Sell Used Hitachi Hard Drives?
A common concern when selling old Hitachi hard drives is whether stored data can be accessed by buyers or third parties after the sale. This worry often makes people hesitant to sell their used drives. While it's true that individuals with technical expertise, such as hackers, can sometimes retrieve residual data from erased drives, there are secure methods to permanently delete this data and prevent any recovery.
One effective way to ensure data security—and often a legal necessity—is to work with a reliable IT asset disposition service like Big Data Supply Inc. We handle the secure eradication of all data on your used Hitachi hard drives and provide a certificate of data destruction for each one. This certificate serves as a formal audit record, helping your organization stay compliant with relevant data security and risk management standards.

What Is The Value of Used Hitachi Hard Drives?

Wondering how much your old Hitachi hard drives are worth? Their value depends on several key factors, including:

  • Condition: Assessing any defects, both functional and cosmetic, the drive’s age, and whether it has been surpassed by newer, faster models.
  • Storage Size: Hitachi drives range from under 100 GB to over 16 TB, with larger capacities generally holding more value.
  • Type: Traditional HDDs (mechanical drives) and SSDs (solid-state drives) vary in demand and resale value.
  • Model: The specific model number or manufacturer’s part number can influence pricing.
  • RPM: For HDDs, the speed (5400, 7200, 10k, or 15k RPM) can affect performance and value.
  • Transfer Rate Speed: Drives with faster transfer rates, like 190 MB/s, typically have higher value.
  • Physical Size: Drives come in 2.5" or 3.5" formats, with size potentially impacting resale appeal.

 

What Should I Do With My Old Hitachi Hard Drives?

Depending on the condition and resale value of your old Hitachi hard drives, you have three main options:

  1. Reutilize
    If the drive is still functional, consider repurposing it. You could use it in another device or convert it into an external drive for extra storage. However, before reuse, ensure the drive is in good condition. Generally, drives under five years old with a solid health check are good candidates for reuse.
  2. Sell
    If your used Hitachi hard drive is relatively new and in good shape, selling it for extra cash could be an ideal choice. Data security is a primary concern when selling, but partnering with a trusted IT asset disposition (ITAD) service like Big Data Supply Inc. ensures secure data erasure that complies with ISO standards.
  3. Dispose
    For drives that are no longer usable or have low resale value, secure disposal or recycling is the best choice. Physical destruction, such as shredding or using a degausser, guarantees that data on the drive cannot be recovered.

 

How Do You Prepare a Used Hitachi Hard Drive for Recycling or Selling?

Preparing a used Hitachi hard drive for recycling or resale involves securely wiping all stored data to make it completely unrecoverable. While specific preparation steps may vary by drive type and model, the general process includes:

  1. Secure Data Erasure
    Use data-wiping software to overwrite the drive multiple times, ensuring residual data cannot be accessed.
  2. Physical Destruction
    For maximum security, physical destruction is the safest method. This can include methods such as degaussing, crushing, or even shredding. While unconventional, some may also consider running over the drive or using strong magnets to damage it.
  3. Verification of Data Erasure
    It’s essential to verify that all data is unrecoverable. If you don’t have access to professional data-wiping and verification tools, consider working with a certified recycler like Big Data Supply Inc. They use state-of-the-art equipment to securely erase and confirm data destruction, providing complete peace of mind.
