Data responsibility

Back up and wipe your drives first

Sellers should back up anything important and wipe personal data before sending hard drives. GPUsed is not a data recovery service, and hard drive quotes are for hardware value only.

Drive types

Which hard drives can be reviewed?

3.5-inch desktop HDDs

Larger desktop hard drives can be reviewed where capacity, health and resale demand make sense.

2.5-inch laptop HDDs

Smaller laptop drives are reviewed case by case, especially if capacity is low or age is high.

Bulk storage lots

Multiple hard drives can be reviewed together when capacity, model, health and quantity are clear.

Health and viability

Hard drive quotes depend heavily on health.

Older mechanical drives can be low-value or unsuitable if health, age or reliability are poor.

CapacityHigher-capacity drives are generally more relevant than low-capacity older drives.
SMART healthHealth status, errors and usage history can affect approval.
QuantityHard drives may be more viable as a clear bulk lot.
Data wipeSellers should wipe personal data before sending drives.

Testing

How GPUsed checks hard drives

Hard drives go through their own specialist review process. GPUsed checks model, capacity, health, condition and working status before approving purchase or listing for resale.
