NetApp buyback — FAS, AFF, ASA, E-series.
We buy back NetApp arrays across the full line: FAS (hybrid), AFF (all-flash), ASA (SAN-focused all-flash), E-series. Indicative CAD residuals: AFF A300 (24× NVMe) C$8,000-18,000; FAS2750 hybrid C$2,500-6,000; E2860 60-bay C$6,000-14,000. Per-drive NIST 800-88 destruction.
Common NetApp configurations
- ♦ AFF A220 / A250 / A300 / A400 / A700 — all-flash mid-to-tier-1, C$5,000-25,000.
- ♦ AFF A800 / A900 — flagship all-flash, C$15,000-40,000.
- ♦ FAS2620 / FAS2720 / FAS2750 — hybrid mid-tier, C$2,500-6,000.
- ♦ FAS8200 / FAS8300 / FAS8700 — hybrid mid-to-tier-1, C$5,000-15,000.
- ♦ FAS9000 / FAS9500 — flagship hybrid, C$15,000-30,000.
- ♦ ASA A800 — SAN-only all-flash, niche but good residual.
- ♦ E2800 / E2860 — E-series 60-bay, C$5,000-14,000.
- ♦ DS224C / DS460C — disk shelves, separately quoted.
- ♦ Individual drives — SAS / NVMe / SSD, C$45-420 per drive.
Per-drive destruction across the array.
NetApp arrays use ONTAP as the controlling OS. Per-drive destruction on NetApp buyback runs both layers: ONTAP factory reset (clears configuration, WAFL aggregates, snapshot copies) and per-drive NIST 800-88 destruction.
For NVMe drives in AFF arrays: cryptographic erase (NIST 800-88 Purge) via the NVMe Sanitize command per drive. For SAS/SATA SSDs: secure-erase command per drive. For magnetic HDDs: Clear or Destroy depending on classification. Per-drive wipe-log captured live; method named on the Certificate of Destruction.
Maxicom Canada — frequently asked
Do you buy NetApp drives separately from the array?
Yes — drive-only buyback supported, minimum lot tier typically 50 drives. Below that, freight + handling overhead dominates the per-drive residual.
