How Solid State Flash Hard Drives work and how to rebuild them for data recovery. This presentation was at Shmoocon 2008 given by Forensic Expert Scott Moulton from My Hard Drive Died, and Forensic Strategy Services.
man you’re the best
No, you are correct, they aren’t, but they serve the same purpose and people are just calling the Solid state hard drives. When a person hears optical drive, they know you’re talking about a drive where you insert media such as DVD or Blu-ray. When you say hard drive though, they KNOW you’re talking about the drive you never put anything into; the drive that your OS is on, your applications are on, and your porn is on (for most of us).
great presentation
Yes, I agree this is a truly excellent presentation.
The thing is, while what you say is true, DVD and Blu-Ray ARE read by optical drives, that is correct. But it ISN’T correct to call an SSD a solid state hard drive. People at ShmooCon are going to realise an SSD isn’t an optical drive.
so what is better? please let me
Ok, cut the shit, will somebody tell me if these drives are actually faster than the normal hard drives?
IIRC They are.
I’m afraid some of this information is very wrong, which is sad considering he spent a ‘year’ on it.
I would love it if you would let me know what you think is incorrect. Could you give us all some details so we might learn from your experience?
with only 500 characters that just aint possible.

2.Read disturb in flash memories: reliability case
3.Disturb Testing in Flash Memories
4.Data Remanence in Flash Memory Devices
Basically he is ‘way out’ on how cells are stacked.
it is the voltages that are stacked.
And I am sick of hearing people say it is 100,000 erases.
that was before, with thicker gates, now it can be as low as 1,000 (yep thats right)
Continuing to make 1k……
(SFFA, I did actually like your animations of the little flash stick, which program did you use for that?)
Get hold of some manufacturers ‘internal’ Nand-flash data sheets.
Also I might be working on a ‘novel’ solution to a number of your highlighted situations, and those damned fake USB stick devices from China.
