How we test used storage drives

This describes our testing process. Contact us for available unit-specific results before ordering.

  1. Step 1
    SMART health review

    Reallocated, pending and uncorrectable sector counters read from the drive itself.

  2. Step 2
    Extended self-test

    The drive's own long self-test, run to completion.

  3. Step 3
    Power-on hours cross-check

    Hours compared against the drive's internal logs. We never reset counters.

  4. Step 4
    Wiped

    All previous data is wiped and the wipe is verified.

  5. Step 5
    Tamper seal and certificate

    Sealed after testing with a numbered tamper-evident seal. Its QR code and the certificate in the box open this exact unit's report.

Condition notes

This drive is sold as Used, Tested. Drive health reads at 100% per SMART data. The drive passed the SMART extended (long) self-test with no errors, no reallocated sectors, and no pending uncorrectable sectors noted. Cosmetic wear consistent with previous use may be present on the enclosure. All testing was performed prior to listing.
