Storage buyback · Canada-wide

Sell your enterprise storage — drives destroyed, value paid.

Maxicom buys used SAN, NAS, disk shelves and loose enterprise drives across Canada. We sanitize every data-bearing drive to standard, recover the value in the controllers, shelves and media, and pay you in CAD against your PO.

Sell used enterprise storage in Canada

Storage is worth money — once the data is gone.

Enterprise storage holds two kinds of value: the controllers, shelves and interconnect that can be reused, and the drives — which have to be sanitized before anything is resold. We handle both: every data-bearing drive wiped to NIST 800-88 / IEEE 2883 with a certificate, and a fair CAD offer for the hardware. Here's what we buy.

Dell EMC

Unity, PowerStore, PowerVault, VNX, Isilon/PowerScale and Data Domain — arrays and shelves.

Examples: Unity XT · PowerStore · PowerVault ME · VNX · Isilon / PowerScale · Data Domain

NetApp

FAS and AFF controllers plus disk shelves, by generation and drive fill.

Examples: AFF A-series · FAS · DS/NS disk shelves · E-Series

Pure & HPE storage

All-flash and hybrid arrays from Pure and HPE.

Examples: Pure FlashArray //X //C · HPE Nimble · 3PAR / Primera / Alletra · MSA

Loose enterprise drives

Data destroyed first, then priced by type, capacity and interface.

Examples: Enterprise SAS/SATA HDD · SAS/SATA SSD · U.2/U.3 NVMe · M.2 · caddies & carriers
What we take

A single shelf or a whole SAN.

  • Whole arrays & shelves — controllers, expansion shelves and interconnect, populated or not
  • Loose drives in volume — pulled SSD/NVMe and HDD in trays — sanitized before resale
  • Mixed & end-of-life — older platforms and faulty units still carry drive and component value
  • Reseller & ITAD stock — surplus arrays and client-estate storage, on NDA
A business and bulk service. Populated arrays, matched drive fills and complete shelves get the sharpest offer.
How it works

Four steps, and you get paid.

1

Send your list

A spreadsheet, an inventory, or just photos. No formatting needed.

2

Get a written quote

A firm offer in CAD against your PO, priced to the live secondary market.

3

We collect

Collection arranged GTA-wide and nationwide, on a documented chain of custody.

4

You get paid

Data wiped, a certificate of destruction issued, settled in CAD.

Data security

Nothing is resold until your data is destroyed.

Storage is the most data-sensitive thing you'll sell, so every drive is sanitized to standard — or physically destroyed if it can't be wiped — before anything is resold, with a certificate for each.

What drives your offer

How we price it — and how to get the best number.

Send an accurate list and you get an accurate price. What moves the offer on a enterprise storage is specific: the exact make, model and generation; the specification (processors, memory, capacity, ports or media); condition and completeness; the quantity and how matched the lot is; and current demand on the secondary market. Data-bearing media also has to be destroyed, which we build into the deal rather than charge for on top. The more precise your list, the sharper and faster the written CAD number comes back.

Why Maxicom

Why sellers choose Maxicom.

We pay, we don't charge

Value recovered and paid in CAD against your PO — not a disposal fee. That single difference is the whole point.

We buy at the source

Direct from businesses, decommissions and the trade — so prices are keener and stock has a known history.

Honest about data & certs

NIST 800-88 / IEEE 2883 with a certificate per drive. No R2, e-Stewards, ISO or NAID AAA badges we don't hold.

We take the whole lot

Mixed conditions, faulty units, whole estates — one deal, not cherry-picking the easy items.

We respect the trade

Resellers' and ITADs' stock moves through our network on NDA, never back into your own market.

Documented, audit-ready

A written line-item offer, chain of custody, and certificates — the paperwork your auditor and privacy officer expect.

Questions

The short answers.

Do you wipe the drives before reselling storage?
Yes — every data-bearing drive is sanitized to NIST 800-88 / IEEE 2883 with a certificate of destruction before anything is resold; drives that can't be wiped are physically destroyed through a vetted partner.
What storage brands do you buy?
Dell EMC (Unity, PowerStore, PowerVault, Isilon, Data Domain), NetApp (AFF/FAS and shelves), Pure Storage, and HPE Nimble/3PAR/Primera/MSA — plus loose enterprise drives.
Do you buy loose SSDs and NVMe drives?
Yes — pulled enterprise SSD, NVMe and SAS/SATA drives in volume. They're sanitized to standard before resale and priced by type, capacity and interface.
Do you take disk shelves without controllers?
Yes — expansion shelves, caddies and carriers all have value; send them on the list.
Can you handle a whole SAN or DC exit?
Yes — from a single array to a full storage estate as part of a data-centre decommission, on a documented chain of custody.
Do you buy from resellers and ITADs?
Yes — resellers, ITADs and MSPs sell us surplus and client-estate storage on NDA, and buy refurbished arrays and drives back from us.
How should I prepare my asset list?
However is easiest — a spreadsheet, an asset register, or clear photos. Useful details are make/model, key specs, quantity and rough condition. A rough list is enough to start; we'll ask if we need more.
Can you sign an NDA?
Yes — NDA is standard for trade, M&A and sensitive exits, and available on request for any engagement. Your sources, customers and reasons for selling stay confidential.
How and when do you pay?
In CAD against your purchase order once the equipment is collected and the data destroyed. Payment terms are confirmed in your written quote — no vague promises up front.
Do you provide a chain of custody and certificates?
Yes — a documented chain of custody from collection to settlement, and a certificate of destruction per data-bearing drive. It's the record auditors and privacy officers ask for.
