Are my old storage tape drives worth anything?

Your old storage tape drives might be worth more than you think. Many clients are pleasantly surprised by the value they receive for used equipment they assumed was outdated or beyond repair. Don’t be discouraged from selling your storage drives—age and condition play a role, but they don’t necessarily mean your drives are valueless.

Here’s what influences the price we offer:

  • Age: Older assets tend to have a lower market value.
  • Condition: Drives in better condition fetch higher offers than those with defects.
  • Availability of Newer Models: When direct replacements are available, prices often drop. However, if there’s no direct replacement, even older models may hold stable value.
  • Rarity: Rare storage tape drives can actually increase in value due to limited availability.

 

How will you handle the deletion of confidential/regulated information stored within the storage tapes?

We prioritize the secure and complete removal of any confidential or regulated information stored on your storage tapes during the sales or disposal process. Depending on your specific requirements, we can either conduct secure data deletion using advanced technologies or opt for physical destruction methods, such as degaussing or shredding.

Data eradication or destruction can be carried out either at our facility or directly on your premises—whichever you prefer. As an R2v3 & RIOS-certified company, we uphold the highest standards in secure data handling, ensuring there is no risk of sensitive information exposure.

 

Will disposal or recycling of storage tapes cost me?

Generally, any disposal or recycling costs are offset against the resale value of your storage tape drives, so you’re unlikely to incur extra fees. Recycling fees are based on the weight of the scrap material within the IT asset, and this amount can vary depending on the volume and value of the items.
