What this item is
The Samsung PM9A3 7.68TB NVMe U.2 is a 7.68TB enterprise SSD on a PCIe/NVMe U.2 interface. Because these carry high write-endurance ratings, a decommissioned unit usually has most of its life left — which is exactly why they resell well. We grade each one from its own SMART data — life remaining, reallocated sectors, power-on hours — not from your description, and erase it to NIST 800-88 before it moves on; the erasure report is yours on request. Look for markings such as MZQL27T6HBLA on the label.

Questions
How much is a Samsung PM9A3 7.68TB NVMe U.2 worth in 2026?
Our current indicative payout is $583-$729 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.
