The 16TB–30TB band is where supply gets thin and prices get vague. We hold these capacities in our own Fanling warehouse, publish what we actually have, and ship within 48 hours of payment — to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, or wherever your rack is.

All models listed are 3.5" SATA 6Gb/s enterprise nearline drives, 7200 rpm, with power-disable and secure-erase support. Prices exclude freight unless quoted DDP. Tiered pricing applies from 20 units and again from 100 — mixed models count towards the same tier. Where a capacity is not shown, ask: the last pallet may be committed but the next arrival is usually within two weeks.
Three things buyers ask for before they trust a used-drive supplier. All three are standard, not extras.
Not a generic “tested good” sticker. Power-on hours, reallocated sector count, pending sectors, spin retry count and temperature history — per drive, keyed to the serial number on the label, so you can verify the unit in front of you.
Block-level purge before the drive leaves the data centre, with a certificate issued against the serial. If your policy needs IEEE 2883 or a specific overwrite pattern, we run that instead and say so on the paperwork.
We are the exporter, not a marketplace middleman. Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and test reports travel with the shipment, and freight is booked in our name so there is a single party to chase.
Landed cost is what you compare, so here is what sits on top of the unit price.
| Item | Time / rate | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Local pickup | Same day | Fanling warehouse, by appointment |
| Air freight | 1–3 working days | Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh, Manila |
| Sea freight | 5–10 days | LCL and FCL from Hong Kong |
| Export docs | Included | Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin |
Freight is quoted per shipment, not per drive, so the per-unit cost falls sharply as quantity rises — that is the real reason a 100-drive order beats five 20-drive orders. Ask for a landed-cost sheet and we will break out goods, freight, duty and tax as separate lines.
Straight answers, including the ones that are not flattering.
Two reasons: price and paperwork. Hong Kong has no VAT or GST on the goods, so the invoice you clear customs against is the price you negotiated. And because we are the importer and the exporter, the chain of custody from the data centre the drives came from to your dock is documented rather than claimed.
NIST SP 800-88 Rev.1 purge, at block level, with a certificate per serial number. If your compliance framework requires IEEE 2883 or a specific overwrite pattern, say so when you order and we run that instead.
Availability in that band moves weekly — the table below is generated from the same database the sales desk quotes from. If a capacity shows as enquire, it means the last pallet is committed and we are quoting the next arrival.
Yes. Book a warehouse visit in Fanling and we will run SMART tests on the units you are considering, in front of you. Bring your own test rig if you want to.
Three years on enterprise models. Warranty is honoured by replacement, not by return-and-wait: you keep the failed drive, we ship a replacement.
We ship worldwide, but the economics work best inside Asia-Pacific where air freight is 1–3 days. For Europe and North America we quote FOB Hong Kong and let your forwarder handle the rest.
