Maxicom buys used and decommissioned enterprise storage across Singapore and Malaysia — Dell EMC, NetApp, Pure Storage, HPE and more, plus enterprise SSDs and HDDs by the tray. Storage is where data-security stakes are highest and recoverable value is easiest to overlook: controllers, shelves and especially enterprise drives hold real secondary-market value. We recover it, destroy your data to NIST 800-88, and pay in SGD.
Retiring storage is the moment where a data-protection mistake is most expensive and the recoverable value is most often missed. Arrays are full of drives — enterprise SAS, SATA and NVMe SSDs and HDDs — that carry both sensitive data and genuine resale value, alongside controllers and cache modules worth recovering. In Singapore's financial sector, where MAS-regulated firms run large, tightly governed storage estates, and across Malaysia's growing data-centre base, storage refreshes are frequent and the disposal bar is high. We meet that bar — certified destruction on a chain of custody — and pay you for what's inside instead of charging to shred it.
Platform, generation and drive population set the price. A sample of what we actively buy:
Singapore's status as a regional financial and data hub means storage disposal here is held to a high standard — data residency, auditability and certified destruction are non-negotiable for banks, insurers and their technology partners. Malaysia's expanding data-centre sector adds volume. We built our storage process around that reality: destroy first, document everything, then recover and pay. It's disposal that satisfies your risk team and your finance team at once.

Every data-bearing drive is sanitised to NIST 800-88 (HDD) and IEEE 2883-2022 (SSD/NVMe) with a certificate of destruction, or physically destroyed through a vetted partner where your policy requires it — before anything is resold. For sensitive estates we support on-site destruction and witnessed destruction, on a chain of custody that documents every serial number.
Every data-bearing drive is sanitised to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 (HDD) and IEEE 2883-2022 (SSD/NVMe), with a certificate of destruction, on a documented chain of custody. Drives that can't be wiped are physically destroyed through a vetted partner. Certified destruction is what makes buyback safe under Singapore's PDPA and Malaysia's PDPA — so it's included in the deal, not billed as an extra.
Offices and corporates clearing space · IT teams running a refresh · data centres decommissioning across Singapore and the Johor/Iskandar corridor · banks, healthcare and government needing certified data destruction · schools and universities · and resellers, distributors, ITADs and MSPs clearing surplus and client stock. One unit or a warehouse — the process is the same, and the paperwork always holds up.
Send your array models or drive counts and we'll come back with a written SGD offer and a data-destruction plan.
