What this item is

The Seagate FireCuda 530 2TB NVMe is a 2TB consumer SSD. We buy these at 85% health or better and grade from SMART on our bench, so a lightly-used drive is quoted on its measured wear, not guesswork. 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. Look for markings such as ZP2000GM3A013 on the label.

Questions

How much is a Seagate FireCuda 530 2TB NVMe worth in 2026?

Our current indicative payout is $65-$90 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 Seagate 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.
