100% of the companies I work(ed) with have either a "destroy laptop" or "destroy data storage media" policy. I know 0 companies reselling their used computers with storage media included.

IT insurance usually requires you dispose of storage media through an accredited company as well, which is usually why this is done. We wanted to donate old laptops to charity but our insurance forbids it.
