Questions

How much is a Samsung PM9A3 15.36TB NVMe U.2 worth in 2026?

Our current indicative payout is $1,098-$1,372 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 tracks the price we pay week over week.

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 before it is resold, and the erasure report covering your drives is yours on request. 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.
