What a used SSD is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for SSDs, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £90 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £76 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £58 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £40 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £22 | Not working or incomplete, sold as seen |
These are the five grades WishThrift listings use, and sellers set the grade themselves — see what each condition grade means. Figures are shown in pounds as a reference point. On WishThrift prices display in your own currency, and sellers set their own asking price.
What raises the value of a SSD
- Larger capacities and NVMe interfaces
- Low written-bytes figures in the drive health
- Recognised brands with warranty remaining
- Original packaging for safe posting
What lowers it
- High total-bytes-written figures near endurance limits
- Drives showing reallocated or pending sectors
- Small capacities, worth almost nothing
- Unbranded drives with overstated capacity
How to work out what yours is worth
- Run a health check and report the written-bytes figure
- Note the capacity and interface type
- Securely erase the drive before selling
Once you have those three answers you can place your own SSD on the table above with reasonable confidence. If it sits between two rows, price it toward the lower one — items priced honestly sell faster than items priced hopefully.

Frequently asked questions
How do I check a used SSD?
Run a health tool and report the total bytes written and health percentage. That is the equivalent of mileage for an SSD.
Do SSDs wear out?
They have a finite write endurance, though most consumer drives outlast the machines they are in. Quote the figures rather than guessing.
Must I wipe it first?
Yes, with a secure erase. Deleted files remain recoverable otherwise.
