Discover effective methods and step-by-step guides to recover data from your devices. Stay ahead of the game with our advice on retrieval data or storage security.
In the previous article, we discussed the speed benefits of disabling the Automatic Acoustic Management (AAM) feature of your magnetic hard drive. However, there are additional methods available allowing you to speed up your storage subsystem even more. Coming from a data recovery company, our tips are not only safe to use, but can actually improve your storage reliability in the long term. Let’s start!
As providers of data recovery software and services, we are frequently approached by customers whose problem cannot be solved by software alone. Most often we’ll just refer such customers to a reputable (and well-equipped) data recovery service in their area.
Until Windows NT, Microsoft was happy with its old-and-proven file system, the FAT. With the advent of server and workstation-based operating system called Windows NT, Microsoft introduced a new file system, the NTFS. Did we need another file system? What are the benefits of NTFS as compared to FAT, and should everyone start using it in their devices? Let’s try to find out.
Content-aware search uses an implementation of a signature search algorithm in order to identify and locate files of certain types. In general, a persistent file signature is used to detect the very existence of a file, then header analysis is performed in order to determine the length of the file.
Wait a second… is it possible to make the hard drive work faster, or are we just talking about software optimizations? In fact, you can make your hard drive more responsive on a hardware level. Combined with software optimization techniques, this can help you gain a significant amount of extra speed out of your existing system. So let’s begin!
Since early days of multitasking operating systems, fragmentation was an issue. Affecting read and write performance on traditional magnetic hard drives, fragmentation has its share of negative effects even on today’s solid-state media. How do we reduce fragmentation and should we fight it on SSD drives? Read along to find out!
Dealing with customers who lost essential information on a daily basis gives us insight into people’s beliefs concerning the integrity and recoverability of their data. In this article, we collected the most common misconceptions, myths and urban legends regarding the issue.
Working in a data recovery company, we get to hear stories about people getting into trouble by trying to improve something. Whether experimenting with Windows registry tweaks or using a low-level defragmentation tool, these optimization attempts often end up in the hands of a data recovery company such as ours.
