[BBLISA] Storage resale/disposal

[Arthur Gaer]

Zerowait

And Berkeley Communications

Both sell used NetApp equipment and repair services--so I assume they buy used equipment as well.  

Last time I checked--years ago--they'd only pay pennies on the dollar.  But I guess that's better than zero on the dollar.

If you find someone/s who'll give you a half decent price, I'd love to hear it, as I have some NetApp equipment I'd love to dispose of as well.


If your NetApps and the disks are still functional, NetApp does have a disk sanitize command that's supposed to be good enough for DoD's satisfaction.  I've never tried it or particularly evaluated it:
