What do I do about data on my hard drives?

You are responsible for removal of all company data prior to return of an asset to IBM. However, we do offer an optional disk sanitisation and cleansing service to ensure proper overwrite of your data. Hard-file data is cleansed via a 3x overwrite process so that data is virtually impossible to recover.

This option meets the United States Department of Defence 5220-22-m 3-pass standards.

What does it cost?

Freight may be free of charge, depending on the marketability of the product.

Where a freight cost is involved, a quote will be provided based on the quantity of assets, their type and the locations from which they must be collected. IBM's buying power enables us to achieve extremely competitive freight rates.

Whether your assets have market value or not, you'll find out before you commit to anything by receiving a quote directly from IBM.
