What this item is

The Samsung 870 QVO 8TB SATA is a 8TB consumer SSD. At 85% health or better these are on our buy list, graded from on-bench SMART so a gently-used drive is priced on real wear rather than a guess. Each unit is erased to NIST 800-88 with an emailed certificate; anything that fails the health check is returned or recycled at no cost. Typical part numbers are MZ-77Q8T0.

Questions

How much is a Samsung 870 QVO 8TB SATA worth in 2026?

Our current indicative payout is $220-$300 per unit in used working condition, with the firm number emailed within 4 business hours of your quote request. The range moves with the market — the Payout Index shows what we actually paid over the trailing 30 days.

How do you grade a used Samsung SSD?

From the drive's own SMART data at intake — life remaining, reallocated sectors, power-on hours — not from the description. Grade A (≥90% life, zero reallocated) pays the full range; B pays 75%; anything failing health checks is returned or recycled free, your choice.

Is it safe to sell this drive with my data on it?

We erase every drive to NIST 800-88 Purge and email you a serialized certificate with a public verification link, free and automatic. Wiping it yourself first is encouraged too — belt and suspenders — and our guide shows how.

How fast do I actually get paid?

Zelle or PayPal within 48 hours of test completion; typical mail-to-money is 5-7 days end to end. Your quote locks before you ship, and if the market drops after we quote, we pay the quote anyway.
