What types of servers do you buy?

Ohata Resource Canada purchases rackmount servers, tower servers, enterprise servers, storage servers, AI servers, GPU servers, and many other server systems, subject to current buying standards.

Does the original server motherboard need to remain installed?

Yes. The original motherboard is one of the primary requirements for this buying category. Servers with the motherboard removed may be classified under a different buying category.

Do the three hard drives need to work?

No. The installed hard drives do not need to be operational, but they should remain installed. The server's overall completeness, condition, and component configuration are generally more important than drive functionality.

How are whole servers inspected?

Each server is individually inspected for its manufacturer, model, motherboard, installed storage drives, CPUs, RAM, power supplies, expansion cards, completeness, physical condition, refurbishment potential, and recoverable material content before the final purchasing price is confirmed.

Should I erase my data before selling the server?

Yes. Customers are responsible for backing up and securely erasing confidential or personal information before delivering their servers to Ohata Resource Canada.

Can I sell one server or do you only buy commercial quantities?

Both are welcome. Ohata Resource Canada purchases individual servers as well as bulk quantities from businesses, schools, government agencies, data centres, IT departments, ITAD providers, and electronics recyclers.

Where can I sell whole servers in Metro Vancouver?

You can sell qualifying whole servers at Ohata Resource Canada in Richmond, British Columbia. We welcome customers from Richmond, Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, Delta, Coquitlam, New Westminster, Langley, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, and surrounding communities.

Is the online buying price guaranteed?

No. Online prices are reference buying prices only. Final purchasing values are determined after physical inspection and depend on the server model, installed components, completeness, condition, quantity, and current market conditions.

Key Buying Introduction

Ohata Resource Canada purchases Whole Servers with 3 Hard Drives and the Original Server Motherboard from a minimum quantity of one complete server. Individual sellers, businesses, data centres, schools, government agencies, IT departments, IT asset disposition (ITAD) providers, and electronics recyclers are all welcome, subject to current buying conditions.
Whole Servers with 3 Hard Drives are classified as complete computer systems, not individual computer parts or printed circuit boards. They are identified primarily by the presence of the original server motherboard, three installed hard drives, complete server chassis, and major internal components, rather than by the manufacturer, operating system, or storage capacity alone.
Each server is individually inspected for manufacturer, model, motherboard, number and type of installed drives, CPUs, RAM, power supplies, expansion cards, overall completeness, physical condition, refurbishment potential, and recoverable material content. Complete servers that retain their original motherboard and three installed hard drives generally qualify for higher purchasing values.
Whenever practical, suppliers are encouraged to keep the server substantially complete before delivery. The original motherboard, three installed hard drives, drive caddies, power supplies, cooling fans, and other major internal components should remain installed whenever possible. Customers are also encouraged to remove or securely erase confidential data before bringing or shipping their servers.
Electronic scrap buying prices may change without notice due to commodity market fluctuations, refurbishment demand, processing costs, transportation expenses, and other market conditions. Final purchasing prices are confirmed only after physical inspection by Ohata Resource Canada.

Buying Details of Conditions

What Is a Whole Server with 3 Hard Drives?

A Whole Server with 3 Hard Drives is a complete rackmount or tower server that retains its original server motherboard and contains three installed storage drives.

The server does not need to be operational. Working and non-working systems may both qualify, provided the server remains substantially complete and suitable for inspection.

Unlike individual server parts, this buying category applies to complete computer systems designed for business, enterprise, or institutional use.

Where Are These Servers Commonly Used?

Servers in this category are commonly retired from:

Business offices
Data centres
Schools and universities
Government agencies
Hospitals
Manufacturing facilities
Managed IT service providers
Cloud infrastructure
Financial institutions

Organizations often replace servers during technology upgrades, cloud migration, equipment consolidation, or scheduled hardware refresh cycles.

What Does "3 Hard Drives" Mean?

This buying category is intended for complete servers that contain three installed storage drives at the time of inspection.

Accepted storage drive types may include:

SATA hard disk drives (HDD)
SAS hard disk drives (HDD)
Enterprise solid-state drives (SSD)
SCSI hard disk drives (HDD)

The storage capacity or brand of each drive is generally less important than the server's overall completeness, hardware configuration, and refurbishment potential. Keeping all three drives installed also helps our team identify the server configuration more accurately during inspection.

Typical Server Components

A complete server may include:

Original server motherboard
Enterprise processors (CPU)
ECC server memory (RAM)
Three installed storage drives
RAID controller
Network interface cards (NIC)
Power supplies
Cooling fans
Drive caddies
Metal server chassis

Additional enterprise hardware may influence the final evaluation depending on the model, configuration, and current market demand.

Common Server Types

Ohata Resource Canada purchases many types of complete servers, including:

Rack servers
Tower servers
File servers
Database servers
Backup servers
Virtualization servers
AI and GPU servers
Storage servers

Common manufacturers include Dell PowerEdge, HPE ProLiant, Lenovo ThinkSystem, IBM System x, Cisco UCS, Supermicro, Fujitsu PRIMERGY, Oracle, NEC, and other enterprise server brands.

How We Evaluate Complete Servers

Every server is individually inspected using a consistent evaluation process.

1. Product Identification
Confirm the manufacturer, model, and server type.

2. Hardware Verification
Verify the motherboard, processors, memory, storage drives, power supplies, and major internal components.

3. Physical Inspection
Inspect the chassis, connectors, drive bays, cooling system, and overall physical condition.

4. Configuration Assessment
Evaluate the completeness of the system, refurbishment potential, and recoverable materials.

5. Final Evaluation
Determine the appropriate buying category and final purchasing value according to current market conditions.

Preparing Your Server Before Delivery

Whenever practical, we recommend keeping the server substantially complete before bringing it to our facility.

Helpful preparation includes:

Leave the motherboard installed.
Keep all three storage drives inside the server.
Keep drive caddies attached.
Secure loose internal components.
Avoid unnecessary dismantling.
Remove asset labels if required by your organization.

Maintaining the original configuration helps simplify identification and inspection.

Data Security

Enterprise servers may contain confidential company information or sensitive customer data.

Before delivery, customers are encouraged to back up important information and securely erase or remove storage devices according to their organization's data security policies. If storage devices are removed, the remaining server should still remain suitable for inspection.

Mixed IT Equipment

Many customers retire complete servers together with other business electronics such as storage systems, desktop computers, networking equipment, UPS units, switches, routers, firewalls, and telecommunications equipment.

Mixed electronic loads are welcome. Separating complete servers from other equipment whenever practical helps improve inspection efficiency and allows each material category to be evaluated more accurately.
