Sell your solid state drives.
Every SSD we buy in one list — NVMe, SAS and SATA enterprise, 960GB to 15.36TB. Send a mixed batch as it comes; sorting it is our job, not yours.

NVMe U.2 and M.2, SAS and SATA enterprise. 18 types listed — not seeing yours? Put the model in the notes and we will price it by hand.
Our buying team will come back with an offer, usually within one working day.
If you do nothing else before sending a clearance, separate the solid state from the spinning drives. It is the single division that changes the number most, and it is the one most often skipped because a 2.5" SSD and a 2.5" 10k hard drive look broadly alike in a caddy.
Within the SSDs, the rough order of value at a given capacity runs NVMe U.2/U.3, then SAS, then SATA enterprise, then consumer. The gaps are not small: at 3.84TB the NVMe drive can be worth well over twice the SATA one. You do not have to sort them yourself — the list does that for you as soon as you put quantities against the right lines.
Three things set it, and only one of them is obvious.
Age is not on that list, and that surprises people. It only really matters once a model drops out of firmware support, which for most enterprise SSDs is a long way past the point where they were pulled from service.
You do not need an asset register. Tick what you recognise, put a rough count against it, and describe the remainder in the notes — "about sixty assorted 2.5 inch, mostly Samsung and Intel, out of a 2019 refresh" is genuinely enough to price against. We will confirm the detail when the pallet lands.
Collection is arranged and paid for by us on anything of reasonable size, anywhere in the UK and Ireland. Leave the drives in their caddies — they are worth more that way, and pulling them costs you an afternoon for nothing. Payment goes out by bank transfer once the drives arrive and match the list.
Read the label. SATA and SAS both use a 2.5" body with a flat connector at the back; SAS has one continuous connector where SATA has a visible gap between the data and power sections. U.2 and U.3 look like a thicker 2.5" drive with a denser connector. M.2 is the bare stick. If you are not sure, put the quantities against your best guess and say so in the notes — we will correct it on arrival and it will not change what you are paid.
That is the normal case. Put quantities against every line you recognise and describe the rest in the notes. We would rather price a rough list accurately than receive a precise list of the wrong things.
Tell us roughly how many and we will price on that basis. A handful of failures in a large batch is normal and does not change much. What we would rather avoid is discovering them at testing and having to revise a number you have already accepted.
Usually, yes — comfortably. Interface and media matter more than raw capacity once you cross from spinning to solid state, which is why SSDs are worth separating out of a clearance rather than sending as part of a general pallet.
Enterprise 960GB drives are on the list, because the SAS and SATA datacentre versions still have a market. Below that, no — a 240GB or 480GB drive is worth less than the cost of collecting, testing and listing it.
Every drive is wiped on arrival, before it is tested and long before it is resold. You are welcome to wipe them yourself first if your own policy requires it, and it makes no difference to the offer.
