on 6/28/2008 Many have tried software without realising that the software could be putting a hard drive that is on its last legs at further risk of damage and render the data beyond recovery, if there are any unusual noises coming from your drive , clicking,ticking, knocking, scraping etc do not think software will bail you out, get help from a proper data recovery company, ask to see a copy of their latest test certificate, just because they change their filters does not mean the inside of their clean room is clean , and most have a bench inside an industrial unit which could be risking your drive during the rebuild, anything 0.3 microns or more getting caught by a static charge and trapped between the head and the platter will lead to a head crash and damage to the heads and more of your precious data, some say clean rooms are not necessary, so how come the best data recovery companies spend hundre

The filters in cleanrooms need to be cleaned regularily , the only way to test for contamination of the room is by laser testing by an independant company.

Considering the cost of these facilities the annual test to get a perfomance sheet and hopefully pass at least ISO - 5 (class 100)is negligable, and should be the minimum since achieving class 100 is does not leave enough leaway incase the external area where
the filter is may contaminate the filters on one site more quickly than another. Hence better to have spare capacity and work to a higher standard IS0-3 (class 1)

on 3/23/2008 No fortune 500 company allows the fact that sensitive data which needed a data recovery to be get the data back will admit to contravening its own data protection policy , disaster recovery policy or the fact that its data backup systems or controls were dependant on a data recovery company.

It would imply they broke the law and so any data recovery company claiming to have done data recovery for such companies is also in breach of trust by advertising the fact.

Many data recovery companies claim so much but cannot pove it, beware those claiming to be class 100 certified, if they cannot show current certification do not trust your drive to them, the cost is very little but confirms if they are working to the required standard of hard drive manufacturers.

Think of it as test of cleanliness, if their cleanroom (or more likely just a bench in a garage) is not clean what chance does
