Yeah does anyone else wonder if this screams of incompetence from upper management? OP was ONLY able to get the disks, RAM, CPUs and Network Card. Sounds like someone higher up gave the “ok” just thinking the “Server” frame was the important part security wise. It would be an interesting scenario to see if the data center was able to upgrade the system while keeping all of the base components compatible and everything under cost or if this was just a screw up.
Comment on Here is what 6 decommissioned servers looks like. My Jellyfin will be very happy

Yep yep, same. Old droves get destroyed. My word that I’ll wipe the drive is apparently not enough.

For security, yes, your word is not enough. This would be confidentiality in the CIA triad. I still understand your disappointment seeing probably many dozens of drives get destroyed.

Having a reliable drive erasing setup on site is not a thing? That sounds economically better to me

Gotta issue them a NIST 800-88 certificate and you’re golden.
