What this listing is

A bulk pack of 20 used/refurbished Western Digital AV-GP 500 GB internal hard drives (3.5-inch SATA, 5,400 RPM), offered to eligible nonprofits and libraries through TechSoup at a reduced administrative fee of $175 for the full set of 20. You pay the admin fee, not retail. [Source: techsoup.org/products/western-digital-av-gp-500-gb-internal-hard-drive-set-of-20-hw-49731- (accessed 2026-05-17)]

Who this is actually useful for

  • Nonprofits that maintain their own desktop fleet, NAS, or backup server and need cheap spinning storage in volume.
  • Small libraries, schools, or community tech-recycling programs.
  • Not useful if you only need 1–2 drives, want SSDs, or run modern laptop-only environments.

How to get it (or its successor)

  1. Register your 501(c)(3) at techsoup.org and complete eligibility verification (one-time, takes 2–10 business days).
  1. Search the TechSoup Product Catalog for "hard drive" or browse Computers and Electronics for Nonprofits.
  1. If this exact SKU stays out of stock, look at TechSoup's Refurbished Computers for Nonprofits program — refurbished business-class machines cost 30–50% less than equivalent new models. [Source: techsoup.org/refurbished-computers (accessed 2026-05-17)]
  1. Place the order, pay the admin fee, ship to a physical address (no PO boxes).

Things to know before ordering

  • Admin fees are non-refundable and the product cannot be exchanged. Confirm specs first.
  • Expedited shipping is not available for warehouse-shipped hardware.

Eligibility

501(c)(3) nonprofits, public libraries, and qualifying public agencies registered and validated through TechSoup. Annual product limits apply per donor partner.
