Hello I have about 30+ of these KVM adapters what would these be telecom grade? Also I have an oppertunity to get 200+ ssd hdd but they have to be distroyed before they leave the site. (see before and after pics) What would these go for and what would I need to do to have them xray'd for PM content?

The KVM boards don't appear to have enough IC population to warrant telecom grade. Best bet is that they're peripheral.

The mutilated SSD drives would be as follow:

* mid-grade or peripheral board
* IC chips
* cable ends for sata connectors with gold left on them


I'll leave it to boardsort to classify the gold pins.

In my opinion it would have been best to leave that board intact. It would have been graded as a Hard Drive Board at $10.25 per pound.

Perhaps you were obligated to destroy it in which case a simple good flexing of the board until it just started to crack would have been enough to satisfy most legal obligations for data destruction.

Instead, the result is:

The depopulated board is now Mid Grade Board at $0.35 per lb

IC Chips at $5.00 per lb.

Clean Pins are only graded in person after shipping due to the inconsistent thickness and coverage of the plating, but can range from $2 per pound up. (these could go $4-$6 or more)
