Scratched plastics used to be a lost cause. If the surface was damaged, the entire part was scrapped. Replacement cost, unit cost, labor cost... it all added up fast. So we tested something different: micro-media blasting. A controlled stream of ultra-fine media that lifts surface damage without distorting shape, tolerances, or fit. The impact: Recovery jumped from ~10% to nearly 80% Cosmetic failures became usable inventory Replacements dropped Waste plummeted

Every storage device tells a story if you know how to read it. In this clip, Ian Lovell, Vice President of Strategy and Technical Solutions at Reconext, explains how analyzing real usage data helps identify wear, plan maintenance, and keep drives in service longer.
When you look at how a storage device performs in its actual environment, you start to see patterns. You can tell when it’s beginning to wear and plan maintenance before a failure happens. We’ve built models that use real usage data, not assumptions. They look at how the drive has lived, not just how long it has run. In many cases, drives predicted to fail early actually perform better because the weak ones were already filtered out in the first stage. Here’s what that looks like in practice.

At Reconext’s Irving Service Center, specialized repair meets secure handling. The site focuses on high-value storage, networking, and connected devices, using certified processes and advanced tooling to restore performance and reliability. In numbers 71,000 ft² facility and 133 employees ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 27001 certified 110+ CCTV cameras across controlled access zones Serialized HDD/SSD wipe and functional testing with Proteus Board-level repair for complex components Built for precision, trusted for scale.

When it comes to data center recovery, risk tolerance is zero. In this clip, Bob Sullivan, SVP of Recovery Operations at Reconext, breaks down how our Proteus platform validates every step of the erasure process so no drive leaves the line unless it’s verified clean. Watch Bob explain how real security is built into every step.
In data center asset disposition, data security always comes first. For years, the policy has been zero tolerance for reuse of hard drives because the risk – even the smallest chance of error – wasn’t worth it. Our team focused on eliminating that risk completely. Inside our Proteus platform, every drive is scanned, verified, and validated at each step. A drive can’t move forward unless it passes. That’s how you turn a zero-tolerance policy into a zero-risk process. Here’s how we built it.

How do you know a data erasure process really works? You test it until there’s no doubt left. In this clip, Ian Lovell, VP of Strategy and Technical Solutions at Reconext, shares how independent verification from Kroll confirmed the depth and reliability of our storage erasure process. 🎥 Proof always speaks louder than claims.
When you work in storage long enough, you stop assuming and start proving. Our data erasure tools had already met every certification. But that wasn’t enough. I wanted to see how they’d perform under someone else’s microscope. So we handed them to Kroll. They tested, verified, and confirmed what our process could do down to the smallest diagnostic detail. That’s the kind of proof that builds real confidence. 🎥 Here’s the story behind it.

We’re heading to SC25 in St. Louis next week. Ian Lovell will be joining the conversations around high-performance computing and the practical work that keeps it running. Our focus is simple: secure data erasure, verified recovery, and smarter reuse of data-center hardware. Real steps that keep equipment in service, reduce waste, and make the most of what’s already built. See you in St. Louis.
If you’re heading to SC25 in St. Louis next week, I’ll be there. It’s a good crowd – the people keeping high-performance computing alive when power’s tight and workloads never slow down. Always happy to trade notes on keeping hardware in service longer. If your racks are tired or your drives won’t stay dead, we’ll get along fine. Message me if you want to connect at the show!

Seeing is believing. In this clip, Bob Sullivan, SVP of Recovery Operations at Reconext, explains what it means to “bring our factory to you.” Customers can run our recovery process inside their own facilities, validate every safeguard, and see the results before scaling. 🎥 Watch Bob describe how trust is built through proof, not promises.
What if you could test our recovery process inside your own walls before making a big decision? That’s what I mean by “bringing our factory to you.” We move our tools and processes into your environment so you can see the validation, the chain of custody, and the data trail in real time. You test it. You prove it. You decide what scales. 🎥 Here’s how a concept becomes real, one secure step at a time.

Before a device can be reused, it has to prove it still works. That’s what our test platforms do. They verify performance, confirm reliability, and clear data so the next user starts fresh. 🧠 OPTILINE | AI-powered image recognition that grades cosmetics with speed and consistency, taking the guesswork out of visual inspection. ⚙️ TITAN | Modular testing for modems, routers, and gateways with robotic loading and fully automated functional checks. 💾 RACKWIPE + PROTEUS | From entire racks to individual drives, both deliver secure, serialized data erasure with ADISA-certified verification and full audit trails. 🔥 MAYA + BUJANG | High-speed validation for NAND and DRAM modules, combining ECC verification, early defect detection, and real-time analytics. 🎛️ ICT + RCU Testers | Automated testing for circuit boards and remotes covering IR, Bluetooth, buttons, LEDs, and audio. ⚡ PSUT – Power-supply testing that simulates real-world loads and records detailed performance data. Developed by our engineering team in Tallinn, Estonia, where new ideas move quickly from prototype to production. See the full lineup → https://lnkd.in/eZuC3Ewh

As Ian Lovell explains, every device reused means one less new one made -that’s true sustainability.
We’re not chasing “net zero.” We’re focused on AVOIDING what doesn’t need to be made. As Ian Lovell explains in this clip, every time recovered equipment finds a second life, a new one doesn’t have to be manufactured. And that’s the simplest, truest form of sustainability there is. 🎥 Hear Ian’s take on why avoidance, not offsetting, is the real metric that matters.
