    Worked with a customer who used these guys, they recovered 100% of the data on a proprietary constructed drive from the early 1980's in a one of a kind system and it was only like 20MB of storage. This was in 2011 and DriveSavers just stripped down the drive to the raw platters and mounted them on a custom spindel rig to read the 1s/0s. Then they analyzed how the drive arranged data on the platters from the chips on the controller and reverse engineered how to read the data and shipped the data back to us on a USB drive. Highly impressed and the recovery of the data save probably 6 months of information that was vital to a new system that was replacing the three decades old system.

Why? I wouldn't pay for example 1000$ to recover a data, cause I prefer to eat, to sleep in warm home and have some things that matters more than data. Of course there are suepr rich people for whom spending 1000$ is nothing, but not everyone is rich. Remember that.

Btw. my "shit hole country" has a higher living standard as well as a higher educational standard than yours, asuming that you are from the USA (which btw. is not "America" by definition and therefor Canadians are also Americans @Deadly SP ;) ) Oh, and Star Gaming, a rant would need someone who rants, what I clearly did not.^^

There isn't any point for a windows activation. Windows activation doesn't do too much anyway.

The previous techs that had not protected their data properly had their jobs become unrecoverable however.

Drivesavers recover data from impossible to possible. Comming from a data recovery engineer myself. Rossman do the basic of fixing things, drivesavers just went out their own method in a non conventional way like recovery from a burned drive. HOLY FCK.

    • @satagaming9144
      @satagaming9144 6 лет назад +24

      Rossman just owns a repair shop, focusing mainly on macbooks and iphones. He can probably do basic backup for most cases of failure, but if it were more extreme, he would probably just recommend a place like that shown in the video. It wouldn't be profitable for such a small fish as Rossman to have a $2 million clean room, since most of his profit comes from board repair.

      +AIRPLANES I have a video on my channel doing a platter swap at the very least and we've done quite a few heads replacements. The video is mostly live and unedited so you can watch the entire process. J9P4UadRdNA is the video ID for the one I can find doing a quick search at 1 AM. That laminar flow bench costs a few thousand dollars.
      Jessa Jones recently livestreamed recovering an iPhone that drivesavers couldn't. I can tell you that while you do need a clean environment, you do not need a 2 million dollar clean room to do any of this.
      This isn't to be self serving or to say we are the only ones who can do this. It isn't even to say we are the best. Nathan Irvine & Brian Cometa run an AMAZING business on the west coast performing miracles on all sorts of drives everyone else declared dead and they do it sub-$1000 price range regularly.
      While what we do is often difficult, I have spent most of my career in the field trying to demystify this idea that you need to be some rocket scientist to get any of this done, and filming that all is an attempt to prove that. If this still exists for data recovery, perhaps we should do more data recovery videos to drive this point home. I do not think someone entirely inexperienced should be mucking around expecting great results, but at the same time, this isn't magic or wizardry requiring NSA level technicians and million dollar machinery. It's same as everything else, brains and ingenuity.
      Just my 2 cents.

The first thing I tried is a recovery software that did absolutely nothing, Then I pulled it out and decided I will not do anything to it any more and send it to someone professional to recover the data before I over write it. I called a lot of people and companies and was about to send the drive, when I found another copy of the folder on another drive that I forgot I even have. It was a little outdated, but all the latest photos I recovered from my phone and my wife's .. In the end all went fine but this day taught me the importance of having several copies of important data.

    I think the difference between DriveSavers and Linus Tech Tips is that DriveSavers actually needs/uses all the hardware and costly equipment they own. Linus seems adept at cloaking the inefficiency of his business in a technological bureaucracy but somehow turns that to his advantage by making everything look way more sophisticated and serious than it actually is. It's kinda brilliant as a model, because all these tech companies know he has an audience and that they can make money off his viewership. So... the more bloated and needlessly complex his production process, the better his company does with sponsorships. Brilliant! Absolutely Brilliant.
    I tip my hat to you for turning a workflow that can be done on 6 workstations into something that requires a warehouse of property, a server closet and enough unused product to feed a small nation for a year.

      I actually had a similar problem.. If it's an external hard drive, in my case the USB to SATA PCB had gone all wonky and somehow messed the drive to where Windows didn't recognize it. About 2 years later, I brought it up to one of my friends, who suggested using TestDisk on Linux...he walked me through it, and now that drive works just fine, I got everything off of it.
