Certified destruction with a zero-dollar invoice. The trade is simple and stated up front: we keep the drives after they're wiped and verified, and the service costs you nothing.
There's no catch, just an aligned trade. Enterprise drives that have been properly sanitized and verified still hold hardware value. When you let EndByte retain the drives after wiping, that recovered value pays for the service — so we don't need to invoice you for it.
You get the full process, not a lite version: serial-level intake, NIST 800-88 wiping, complete read-back verification, and a certificate for every drive. Drives that fail verification are physically destroyed and documented the same way — they just don't have resale value, which is our problem, not yours.
The program fits best with working enterprise drives in reasonable volume. If your media is mostly failed, exotic, or policy-bound to physical destruction, we'll tell you straight and quote the paid service instead.
The full process — nothing held back for being free.
Same custody chain as every paid engagement.
Professional sanitization, monitored from start to finish.
Every sector read back; no exceptions for free jobs.
Your audit trail, identical to the paid service.
Drives that can't verify are shredded and documented.
The recovered hardware is the payment. You never write a check.
Tell us the drive models and rough count — takes one call.
Full sanitization and read-back on the bench.
Per-drive certificates delivered to you.
Verified hardware stays with EndByte. Invoice: none.
One call to qualify — drive models, count, condition. We'll tell you on the spot if it's free.
