Stumbled upon this article claiming that Ace Data Group in Texas, USA has partnered with Sandforce to be able to recover data from their encrypted SSDs. http://www.virtual-strategy.com/2015/02 ... based-ssds I wonder if it's true or just some preemptive SPAM advertising hoping it'll come true...

I just wanted to point out that I've added google +1 buttons to all the posts. So if you like a certain thread or post, be sure to +1 somewhere on the page. This will help others find the thread, and supports the overall growth of this forum. Thanks Guys!

I know this has nothing to do with data recovery, but since I seem to be the first person to have figured this out I though I'd share. Might be good to generate some traffic to the forum. :D So as you see all the posts now have a Google +1 button. Here's how I did it: 1. In the folder...

I'm just testing some adjustments to the forum layout here, so just ignore all the useless posts.

It's been less than one month since this forum launched and we just hit the 100 member mark. I realize half of these accounts are likely just spammers but it's still a great start. Many thanks to all of you for joining, and to our moderators for diligently keeping out the spam. If you know...

Does anyone know how to figure out what ABA ranges are in which tracks on a drive? Here's my situation. I've got a WD Europa drive that I know for a fact that I managed to read the tracks and modules. The modules are in the profile folder, but the tracks are strangely missing. I'm guessing...

You gotta see this article: http://www.extremetech.com/computing/12 ... -their-way Pay special attention to the first picture. I think it gives a more accurate description of where their technology is going than the article does.

Explains the RVS technology.

So I see the HGST has finally caught back up to the others with a 6Tb model. http://www.storagereview.com/hgst_desks ... hdd_review I notice they mentioned a new technology called RVS (Rotational Vibration Safeguard). I wonder if they opted to do this instead of taking the helium route for now...

Found this article interesting as well: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-dri ... it-matter/ Yet further statistical proof that HDD coolers are a complete waste of money.

So recently I was contacted by Elena at ReclaiMe data recovery software to try out their new Pro version. So here's what I found: Right off I liked the feature that you can tell it what drives and drive types to scan before it goes and checks all the volumes on the system. This can be handy...

This is the most useful thing I've found online so far:

Edit: I've consolidated the list of Seagate Terminal Commands collected and put it into this sticky thread: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=901 <<<<<<--------------------- Click Here! So Please Visit There Instead

Looks like the 3Tb ones (most likely DM I'd guess) are the real culprits.

I found this article: http://lifehacker.com/the-most-and-leas ... 1505797966 Which had an interesting statistic of hard drive failure rates according to BackBlaze I'd say this is a pretty accurate portrayal of Seagate's quality these days.

So I've got a DVD-RW disk here that I was initially told wasn't working due to a 'region' issue and they just wanted it re-burned so they can play it in their DVD player. However on further investigation it seems that nothing will recognize the DVD, not Windows/Linux, not any data recovery...

Not that it's data recovery related or anything, but can anyone recommend a good program to do this? Free would be nice, but even if it costs a few bucks is OK too. Just a little favor for a friend I'm trying to do.

Not that I'm even considering buying one, but just out of curiosity. Has anyone actually tried these new tablet integrated looking data recovery tools from Salvation Data?

I just had the most amazing thing happen today. Had a WD Passport drive come in with heads stuck to the platters. I freed it up which went very smoothly. Plugged it in via USB (just to see what it would do) and the the thing just outright works! I'm about 20% cloned now just through the USB...

So I've been reading up and it seems that getting a good number of +1's on Google Plus is really good for SEO. Why don't we all post our G+ page links here and whenever we are board we can spend a minute giving each other some SEO props. I'll start it off. Here's my G+ page...
