Rapid Technologies was founded in February 1996 and currently operates in 5,000 square feet of combined office and warehouse space. We specialize in providing obsolete hard to find computer storage peripherals for the in-house maintainer, third party maintainer, and data recovery market place. We are a stocking distributor with a primary focus on hard disk drives used in desktops, laptops, printers and other applications. We sell both new and recertified products with an emphasis on quality.
Based on the three R's of waste management (Reduce, Re-use, and Recycle) we believe we offer a better solution to the environment and waste management by re-using older products without going through the expense and potential dangers of recycling them to their base metals. Re-using components to repair older systems keeps them in circulation longer before they need recycling also.
We test all components to make sure they function properly. Products are burned-in to screen out heat related problems and maximum noise levels are verified using sound pressure meters. Our rigorous quality control process which includes cosmetic inspection assures our customers that the recertified products we sell consistently work as expected
The privacy of sensitive information is a major concern for the original owners of data storage devices. A firm's business information or an individual’s financial information could cause serious problems or irreparable harm should it fall into the wrong hands. At Rapid Technologies we use the Department of Defense (DOD 5220.22-M) standards for clearing and sanitizing this information from all magnetic media drives.
If a component can not be re-certified then it is sent to a recycling facility where it is physically destroyed to recover its base metals. With the cost per pound of recycling computer systems increasing, we can help reduce these costs by reducing the weight of these systems when the storage components are removed.
We are always looking for more inventories so please contact us about your end of life storage devices so that we may purchase them outright if they hold any value or sell them on a consignment basis.
