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.
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.
NetApp
FAS and AFF controllers plus disk shelves, by generation and drive fill.
Pure & HPE storage
All-flash and hybrid arrays from Pure and HPE.
Loose enterprise drives
Data destroyed first, then priced by type, capacity and interface.
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
Four steps, and you get paid.
Send your list
A spreadsheet, an inventory, or just photos. No formatting needed.
Get a written quote
A firm offer in CAD against your PO, priced to the live secondary market.
We collect
Collection arranged GTA-wide and nationwide, on a documented chain of custody.
You get paid
Data wiped, a certificate of destruction issued, settled in CAD.
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.

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 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.
The short answers.
Do you wipe the drives before reselling storage?
What storage brands do you buy?

Can you handle a whole SAN or DC exit?
Do you buy from resellers and ITADs?
How should I prepare my asset list?
Can you sign an NDA?
How and when do you pay?
Do you provide a chain of custody and certificates?
