Why I Don't Recommend Spinrite on my Software List! I get many questions about why I left
off Spinrite on my recommendations of recovery software. I specifically
leave off Spinrite because under the strictest terms it is not data
recovery software. Almost every single data recovery package knows, and
will warn you not to write the data back to the original source drive.
Data Recovery/Forensics software almost always recover from a source to
a destination.
Spinrite does
not do that, it refreshes the surface and controls reads to get the
maximum amount of data from the sectors and then puts it back down on
the same drive.
Response to Google Study on Hard Drive
Failures Well after reading the Google study, I have to question the containment of the drives or the way temperature was measured. I have to say that I am 100% convinced that temperature does indeed affect hard drives. The question at this point is how and when. I have had hard drives in with obvious heat damage, arms and heads deformed due to heat. I have chips that are burnt and physical damage to the platters caused by heat. I know temperature does greatly affect recovery <--- Click for More --->
Problems with Vista doing data Recoveries:
I am testing Vista with some of my
recoveries and I have found some major problems mounting and using big
hard drives in Vista.
For example, I have a 750gig NTFS formatted drive with several thousand
small files on it. XP sees it just fine and no problems. However when
plugged in Vista it first pauses. |

Matching Serial Numbers on Hard Drives
This link is where I keep track of documentation on how each hard drive needs to be matched for a working donor drive. I get this any where I can, use it if you can, and if you happen to find something out please let me know so I can add it to the collection! <--- Click for More ---> Recovery software Links: <--- Click Here --->
