Data Recovery

I saw this website that claims they do data recovery from faulty storage devices. For those of you, who just went 'huh?', its very simple. You have a hard disk, that hard disk conks out. You need the files in that hard disk.

While there are other methods of retrieving files from a dying hard disk, providing you can read the dying hard disk at all. Softwares like Quetek's File Scavenger could be one solution but then again there are times(oh yes, trust me) when the damn thing just won't boot.

Stuff like this is due to hardware malfunction and the only solution are professionals who will take apart the hard disk and try to recover the data in a Class 100 lab.

A Class 100 lab is a clean lab in a controlled environment where the amount of particles in the air is being controlled. That means dust, skin flakes, mould, things which you cannot see unless you have a microscope.

Now, a class 100 clean lab would mean that no more than 100 of these particles should be present in a cubic foot of air. That’s not a whole lot.If you stand still, you are emitting 100,000 particles. Imagine how much more you emit once you start to move.

See how I got sidetracked there. Hmm...moving on. This whole story reminded me of a conversation I had with my buddies back in school(9 years ago). We were looking into a hard disk failure and had tried everything we could. So my friend said "Wouldn't it be nice if Brunei had its own data recovery centre?"

So, back to the topic at hand. This website or this company in Brunei is called Drevivo Technology. So, if you have that faulty hard disk lying around cos it had your 'precious' secrets (to which I mean porn adult oriented materials LoL) and you've tried everything including chucking your hard disk in the freezer(sometimes this works). I suggest you give the people at Drevivo Technology a call. Btw, they won't charge you if they can't get anything out of your hard disk.
