Can you erase data from RAID arrays and SANs?

Yes. We handle complex RAID arrays and SANs with protocols appropriate to each configuration, wiping to NIST 800-88 Purge level or physically shredding drives that fail verification.

Do you offer on-site server data destruction?

Yes. For high-security environments we erase or destroy drives in your server room, so data never leaves your premises. Off-site processing at our secure Manchester facility is also available with full chain of custody.

Is server disposal WEEE compliant?

Yes. Decommissioned hardware is refurbished for reuse where possible or recycled under the UK WEEE Regulations, with waste transfer notes and certificates provided.

Do servers have resale value?

Often, yes. Enterprise servers, storage and networking equipment can hold significant residual value — after certified erasure we can refurbish and rebate that value against the cost of your decommissioning project.

Retiring Servers Without the Risk

Servers hold your organisation’s most concentrated data — customer records, financial systems, backups, entire virtual estates. Disposing of them is not a skip job: a single unwiped drive from a RAID array can expose years of sensitive information, and under GDPR the liability stays with you until the data is verifiably destroyed.

TechScrubbers provides end-to-end server disposal for UK businesses: decommissioning support, certified data destruction aligned to NIST 800-88 (Purge level for enterprise storage), and WEEE-compliant recycling — with a documented chain of custody from rack to certificate.

RAID & SAN Expertise

Complex arrays handled with the correct protocol per configuration. Drives that fail erasure verification are shredded to 6mm particles.

On-Site Option

For high-security environments we erase or destroy drives in your server room — data never leaves your premises. Compare on-site vs off-site destruction.

Value Recovery
