Data recovery company Ontrack challenged silicon.com to ‘do our worst’ to two innocent drives and send them off to be resurrected in the company labs. In this video see how silicon.com’s staff fared in the data destruction challenge and if that all-important data could be raised from the dead.

Does anybody know how I’d make a slave drive on my DELL Dimension 2400 to retrieve the date from my old PC of the same make and model? If so, plz let me know, cuz I really need to retrieve the data from my old hard drive!
i hope they did not drink that beer. i would not drink it because i might get a virus.
And it costs a small fortune to recover that datta too. My new seagate harddrive stopped spinning after 4 months. Seagate wanted over $300.00 to retreve it.
WOW! I’m amazed that both drives were recoverable! I bet if they dropped the drive in a glass of Coke it would have been a harder recovery (since Coke is so corrosive)… they’d still probably get all the data back though
$300 is not much money for that… you sure they didnt want $3000?
Just set your drive jumpers to cable select and place the master and slave drive on a dual connector IDE cable. Thats is if your hard drives are IDE.
maybe not… if it was normal coke… the sugar would gum up the works.
thanks!
ok i made it inposivbe to recover my friends datata also wana make data u recober ablke get 12 ghost shredder its going to destroy the data vbeond repair it can also wipe drives
nice video for how to recover lost data and my brother removed a game and i recover that game
1400 freakin dollars for me. do not buy seagate.
put it in a freezer then get an external and put all the data on it
Great Work by them… What is the name of the Software at the near end something like Req 005… that is running on the LCD????
This video is nonsence. They recovered data from the beer drive MAYBE… but did anyone notice BOTH drives they dropped were 3.5 inch desktop drives, and not the laptop drives they “recovered” data off of? Nice try though. I bet anyone ANYTHING if you drop a laptop drive off a 3 story building, the plates would shatter as they are made from glass. It would be IMPOSSIBLE to recover the data. In a 3.5” drive, the aluminum plates would bend and it still would not be recoverable.
Yeah I noticed that. n00bs trying to fool people and they can’t think we’re not capable of telling the difference between 1.8/2.5/3.5 inch drives…
Pretty good!
interested in professional hd destruction? visit my youtube page for my company information
thanks.
LOL stupid make all stupid
nice buildshit
wow, bullcrap, could have at least bought the same type of drives for the destruction that you used for the “recovery”… a little effort fools people a long way. Luckily this did not.
