Circular Drive Initiative Publishes Data Sanitization Best Practices Guide
Developed in alignment with IEEE 2883, ISO 27040, and NIST 800-88, the guide helps IT professionals, data center operators, and asset disposition partners adopt a risk-based, auditable approach to data sanitization. It outlines each step of the process, from identifying data sensitivity and assessing risk to verifying erasure and generating a certificate of sanitization.

Data Explosion, Circular Solution: How Refurbished Drives Can Bridge the Storage Supply Gap
Demand for data storage far exceeds current manufacturing capacities. However, circular markets offering second-use storage devices, and the widespread adoption of reuse models for storage media, such as hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs), have the potential to fill this critical gap. This study, authored by the Circular Drive Initiative’s Richard Kenny and Jonmichael Hand, quantifies the economic potential of storage media reuse through a detailed market analysis from 2020 to 2028, demonstrating the viability of reuse and identifying key metrics that influence device suitability and bolster confidence in the secondary market.

The Economic Value of Reuse of Storage Drives
As fellow members of the Circular Drive Initiative (CDI), Revert and Seagate work to bring attention to the impact of disk drive disposal versus reuse and the impact that it has on the circular economy.
To help with understanding of this impact, Seagate recently released a white paper entitled “Incentivizing Circular Economy Reuse of Data Storage Devices” that offers empirical results showing the financial value of reusing drives instead of recycling them.
