I'm guessing peripheral on 1, 3, and 4 and I'm not sure if 2 would be a hard drive board or high grade telecom since it's a M.2 SSD.

1 peripheral
2 high telco
3 midgrade
4 midgrade. Just not enough population for a Jump

#2 is the M.2 SSD board.

I swear there was a post between mine and yours...?
It’s... gone. Lol

Try the above corrected post.

I was questioning your higher classing for 3

Thanks for your help.

I’m still wondering on 3...
You have gotten very close in accuracy.
I’m human and make mistakes!
What makes you think 3 is peripheral?


As for the m2 board:
Chris and I have discussed flash media on and off at length recently via emails.
From a scrap standpoint we’re dealing with 5 or 6 years of not quite standardised drives coming into scrap right now. Which leaves everything open for some debate.
For the time being all users should post all flash drive boards for a grade decision. Chris or myself will take a look and assign a class.
99:100 with I this specific sub group I’ll be accurate and I stand by my grades. You’ll get the SSD rate I call on the forums. From boardsort or via myself as an upgrade (PayPal or crypto only).
I guarantee coverage on any disagreement on SSDs I have classed myself!

For the moment they’re still too new to be a standard scrap class. Look for an SSD rate in the next 6-12 months as NVR is discontinued for NVME.
The current national discardment rat is under 50,000 per year.
With the transition that will no doubt equate to millions of scrap HDDs next year or 2022. There’s just not enough quantity of consist quality at the moment scrap wise to make a class for it.
But as more reliable organisations point out what I said for years, NVF can not be 100% erased, and NVME can— the death of 1st and 2nd gen SSDs is coming.

I was thinking 3 was peripheral since it has the IC chip on it and because the black connector at the end has gold plated contacts in it. It came out of a laptop battery pack and had 4 battery cells connected to it.

...wow! You just moved up on the Scrapgod list!
I’m looking at that board thinking that’s a standard electrical port connector. But nobody takes apart a battery package. Must be some sort of junk...!!

Nope...peripheral on that one too. Big gold fins. Not pins. And tip of the hat for being... well, for doing that. You went past my attempts!

It came out of a flat, square laptop battery. It was the first one I had seen like that and I decided to seen what was inside. When I got it open, there was 4 separate battery cells all connected to that board. And the 4 battery cells were basically cellphone batteries. I was surprised since most laptop batteries have cylindrical cells inside.

Thanks again.

That flat package design is popular in non-computer devices like medical equipment. But I’ve seen breakdowns where the battery packs are literally giant cell phone style soft bags and go right up to the edges so I just never bothered with the risk of sticking my spudger through a bag.
I’m getting old. I like less fires and booms in my life now. ;)


On the other hand I nearly always break into nicad blocks. 50% of the time you find a direct relay rather than cross over. So even when the pack does dead you find nice c/d sized cylinder batteries full of life to use in a flashlight.
