    Sick of Overmoderated Forums

    Anyone else sick to death of extremely over-moderated tech forums? You try to spend hours actually helping random people with data recovery issues, dealing with idiots who are giving aweful advice like "put it in the freezer", then you end up getting banned because you post a link to an article...

    HGST Now Shipping 10Tb Drives

    https://www.hgst.com/company/media-room ... th-in-data I think it's finally time that I'll have to start charging extra based on drive size. I just did two 8Tb Seagates, and now this.

    Beware of Slow PC-3000 Upgrade Activation Process

    It's now been 27+ hours since I uploaded my video of destroying my UDMA card and still no activation or response to my ticket or email. So just beware that if you're doing this process too, it can take a while and you might be shut down for a few days. I thought when they said it'll be...

    Separate Program Files from Bin Folder

    I'm installing PC-3000 software and DE on my new express card system. I notice that you have an option to select where the "bin" folder goes which contains the program files. I definitely want the program itself to run on my SSD for faster performance and loading, but I know that the bin...

    Bad Start to a Day

    Ancient Hard Drive Advice

    Now I need some advice from a data recovery old timer. Same day as I get in my first 8Tb for recovery I also get in a 420Mb drive for recovery (yes Mb not Gb). They actually brought in a supposedly good same model drive in case I need parts for it, but I can't seem to interface with it. I...
