  Actually no. We won’t due to anti gray market policies from data centers. For example Google shreds all HDDs after their service life(5years max usually) expires. We have a net loss from the data center hardware fiasco.

  I’m afraid that a lot of the infrastructure will be heavily catered towards DoD computing resources. This means after the components hit their lifecycle, they aren’t released to the used markets on ebay, instead they are shredded and rendered electronic waste.
