Previously the domain of high-tech companies and the aerospace industry, SSD are now found in computers of Fortune 500 companies all the way down to small business owners and individuals. What are the benefits of an SSD hard drive? – Since an SSD is all one piece (aside from the casing) it is less prone to mechanical failure. There are no physical parts that can scratch or wear out. – An SSD is less susceptible to physical shock or extreme temperatures – Has faster access times for data – Faster boot-up times – No parts to wear out – Less power to operate/more energy efficient – Can often retain memory after power loss – Silent operation – Lower latency It…

A raid server is a complicated series of disks in an array, where data is duplicated across the disks for protection against loss due to hard disk failure, file corruption or physical damage.While a raid server keeps your data safer than a standard computer hard drive, it’s not invulnerable to physical damage, file corruption, accidental deletion or computer viruses. In the case of a raid 1 server, your server can continue functioning as long as one disk is still working properly. Other forms of raid data servers can keep operating with one or two failed disks, as long as the rest are still working.Raid Server Data Recovery IssuesRaid server data recovery problems may occur when:- a member of a company’s…

External hard drives designed to sit upright look sleek, take up less surface area on your desk, and are high-tech looking, reminiscent of a computer tower. (Remember how cool those were when they first came out?) A number of major manufacturers, including Seagate, Samsung and Toshiba (to name a few) manufacture upright hard drives. Manufacturers state that you can keep an external hard drive upright (vertical), horizontal (lying flat) or even hanging from the ceiling and it won’t reduce the life span of your hard drive. These drives are designed to run equally well — and last just as long — in any position. But there’s one problem with the upright external hard drive design — it’s susceptible to tipping.…

SSD Memory is a complicated topic. Many consumers own netbooks, flash drives, digital cameras and other technology and may not even know they’re using SSD memory to store their data. Let’s take a quick look at some of the many forms of SSD memory, from the basic to the most complex, found in the solid state hard drives of RAID servers. SSD hard drives Frequently used in servers, RAID servers, netbooks and notebook computers, as well as some desktop computers where the users desire enhanced durability and access times, SSD hard drives are designed to fit in slots for conventional hard drives, even though the internal components are actually much smaller. Unlike regular hard drives (HHDs), SSD hard drives have…

You can start a Macintosh data recovery with 24 Hour Data online, by phone, or even through the mail by printing out a PDF of our data recovery form. http://www.24hourdata.com/data-recovery-form Our data recovery form requests some information that help our Macintosh data recovery experts help you. One of the things we’ll need when we begin your free estimate and diagnosis for a Macintosh data recovery is the manufacturer, model number and serial number for your Mac hard drive. Here’s how to find it. Of course, if you are in need of Mac hard drive repair and can’t boot up your computer, you won’t be able to access this information. It’s a good idea to access this information now — while…

One of the main reasons people need digital photo recovery services is because they have accidentally deleted files from their camera’s memory card. In most cases, deleted digital photo recovery is easy to do yourself — if you haven’t written anything else on the card after deleting the files. Even then, it’s a matter of knowing your way around your computer and selecting the right digital photo recovery software. If the only time you use your computer is to post those digital images on Facebook or send an email, you may find do it yourself digital photo recovery software intimidating. That’s when it’s time to call a professional. We’re happy to help. And it can be inexpensive for us to…

What sort of back-up system do you have for your computer hard drive? There are several different answers people provide to this question. The answer often means the difference between having to pay for hard drive data retrieval, or simply plugging in your backup source and copying the files onto a new hard drive.- “Back-up? What back-up?”- “An external hard drive, but I haven’t backed it up in a month.”- “An external hard drive, but it was damaged in the [flood, fire, power surge], too.”- “I had an external hard drive, but when my primary drive got full, I started using it to store data.”- “I have a bunch of CDs and flash drives from a few months ago with…

When it comes to hard drive data retrieval, you have choices. Some choices for hard drive recovery are better than others. Let’s look at four different options you can choose when faced with a data recovery emergency. 1. Try to retrieve the data yourself using utilities such as “CHKDSK.” In many cases, this will damage your hard drive beyond repair, making hard drive data retrieval more costly or perhaps even impossible for experts. If you continue to try to boot up your computer or read the data, you may hear a clicking noise. The coating that actually stores your data is being scratched off, making it impossible to retrieve the data. 2. Purchase a DIY data recovery software kit. These…

SSD Recovery is a complicated process that requires special equipment to access information from  solid state memory chips.One of the problems inherent in solid state disk drives, especially when they are used in large company servers and in RAID servers, is the “write endurance,” or how many times data can be written to a particular block without that block failing. Granted, the write endurance of SSD memory is still more than millions of cycles and about 3 times that of a regular hard drive (depending on the manufacturer) — but SSD memory is not invincible.The experts at Storage Search wrote about this problem a few years ago, noting, “…Flash [SSD memory] http://www.storagesearch.com/ssd-buyers-guide.html has an intrinsic limit on the total number…

Macintosh computers have developed the reputation of being true workhorses in sleek, modern packages. “Work horse” often carries the connotation of something ugly but functional — most Mac users think of their machines as anything but. These are good-looking machines that get the job done, typically oblivious to viruses. Most Macintosh computers are equipped with systems that help prevent data loss resulting from power surges and the like. Macs use a system called journaling, which maintains a file of every change that has taken place to the hard drive. This makes Mac hard drive recovery easier in some cases.However, there are still some circumstances where you’ll need expert Mac hard drive recovery.1. If the journal file and Mac file system…
