Know the health of every drive you handle — at scale.

Every storage device — SSD, NVMe, or spinning HDD — continuously records its own condition: how long it's been powered on, how much of its rated life it has used, its temperature, and whether it's developing bad sectors. ITAD Tools collects that telemetry from the drives you process, keeps one continuous record per physical drive, and turns it into decisions:

• Resell vs. recycle — grade incoming drives by real remaining life instead of guesswork.
• Prove condition — attach an objective health record to each asset at intake and at disposition.
• Catch failures early — surface drives that are worn out or growing defects before they ship.
• Report at scale — one dashboard and one API across thousands of drives.

• Identity: serial, model, type (SSD / NVMe / HDD), capacity, firmware
• Power-on-hours and power-cycle count — true age in service
• Health / life-remaining score (0–100) — a single at-a-glance figure derived from the drive's own wear, endurance, and defect indicators, so a worn SSD or a drive growing bad sectors is obvious instantly
• SMART self-assessment (PASS / FAIL), temperature, total bytes written
• Defect indicators: reallocated, pending, and uncorrectable sector counts
• Full reading history per drive, plus disposition and wipe-certificate linkage
• The 0–100 score and all telemetry are available everywhere: the console, the portal, CSV exports, and the JSON API.

A clean, versioned, read-only REST API. Authenticate with your organization API key as a Bearer token; every response is scoped to your organization only.

Incremental pull — fetch new readings since your last sync using a cursor, so a scheduled job keeps your inventory in lockstep with zero duplication:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ITAD-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" \
  "https://www.itadtools.com/api/v1/disks?since=0&limit=100"

{
  "api_version": "v1",
  "organization": "Acme Recyclers",
  "count": 1,
  "next_cursor": 84213,
  "readings": [
    {
      "reading_id": 84213,
      "read_at": "2026-07-18T14:07:52",
      "serial": "S3Z9NB0K123456",
      "model": "Samsung SSD 870 EVO 1TB",
      "type": "SSD",
      "capacity_bytes": 1000204886016,
      "health_status": "PASSED",
      "health_remaining": 96,
      "power_on_hours": 14523,
      "power_cycle_count": 220,
      "temperature_celsius": 33,

      "wipe_cert_number": "ITAD-WC-2026-0155"
    }
  ]
}

On each poll, pass the previous response's next_cursor as since= to get only what's new.

Per-drive lookup — the full longitudinal history and disposition for one serial:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ITAD-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" \
  "https://www.itadtools.com/api/v1/disks/S3Z9NB0K123456"

Returns the drive's identity, latest status, its 0–100 health score, every reading over time, and its disposition block (wipe-certificate number, verification code, and when it was linked). If a serial is shared across vendors, add ?wwn= to disambiguate.

Built for integration

• Formats: format=json (default), csv, or ndjson for streaming into a data pipeline
• Paged & cursored: limit up to 1000 per call; since cursor for exactly-once sync
• Generous rate limits with a per-key daily quota
• Stable, versioned under /api/v1
• Send a User-Agent header identifying your integration (any value) — standard HTTP clients do this automatically

Generate an API key in your dashboard, point your inventory system's importer at the endpoint, and schedule it — done.

Drive health isn't a standalone number. When you wipe a drive through ITAD Tools, its health record links to the wipe certificate — so each asset carries a verifiable record from intake condition through certified erasure. Auditors and resale buyers get one coherent story per serial.

• Read-only telemetry. Collectors only read the drive's own SMART data; they never write to the media.
• Your data, your org. Every API response is scoped to your organization and authenticated by key. Keys are yours to rotate.
• No agents phoning home with anything else — the collector submits drive health, nothing more.
