Thought they'd shred all disks? This reads as most drives (all passing the test) are sold to others.

Would be interesting to know where you can buy old Google disks? Should be rather high volume.

They likely recycle the disks rather than sell them. I'd imagine that reclaiming the materials is cheaper with intact disks compared to shredding.
