Worked with a customer who used these guys, they recovered 100% of the data on a proprietary constructed drive from the early 1980's in a one of a kind system and it was only like 20MB of storage. This was in 2011 and DriveSavers just stripped down the drive to the raw platters and mounted them on a custom spindel rig to read the 1s/0s. Then they analyzed how the drive arranged data on the platters from the chips on the controller and reverse engineered how to read the data and shipped the data back to us on a USB drive. Highly impressed and the recovery of the data save probably 6 months of information that was vital to a new system that was replacing the three decades old system.

[@Toxic2T]

that's fucking insane and professional.

[@vughdeziestem4358]

how much it cost for doing that??.

[@frankdiaz6955]

I can’t imagine the billable hours for that

[@Netsuki]

@@raptors222222 It is, unless You are rich enough to waste Your money for anything, so You prefer to recover old data. And You didn't answered the question, You avoided it as it was shameful. Why? I wouldn't pay for example 1000$ to recover a data, cause I prefer to eat, to sleep in warm home and have some things that matters more than data. Of course there are suepr rich people for whom spending 1000$ is nothing, but not everyone is rich. Remember that.

@@raptors222222 I think he thought you were the OP. Then proceeded to explain that not everyone can afford $1000 for data recovery.

Not really. It's pretty much standard for a data recovery company. It's just the way americans are acting like it's special tbh.

Not really sticking to the facts, more like an entertainment show for the masses.

Star Gaming if it hurts you so badly, that I described the "american" way to present stuff and expressed that I don't like this way of overacting in a "documentation" type of format, maybe go and see a doctor or just get rid of your stupid national pride thingy. Btw. my "shit hole country" has a higher living standard as well as a higher educational standard than yours, asuming that you are from the USA (which btw. is not "America" by definition and therefor Canadians are also Americans @Deadly SP ;) ) Oh, and Star Gaming, a rant would need someone who rants, what I clearly did not.^^

[@PompomYourkey]

Am I the only one that gets nervous every time Linus holds a hard drive.

[@jhonjhon1740]

My drive is hard

[@BraedenRoesler]

I had a 4tb external seagate desktop drive fall off my pc tower and stop working. Sent it in here to Drive savers for an assessment and quoted for ~$1,500 to recover the data from it (which was still cheaper than almost any other online data recovery company I could find a quote from). Unfortunately that drive is still sitting around on a shelf waiting to be sent back in because I can't afford to get it recovered. It has about 8 years worth of photos and files on it. The reason I didn't have a backup was because I was transferring files and photos from so many random smaller drives and laptop drives/etc into one central drive to access them from, which I was then going to make a duplicate backup drive of. Problem was that I was still adding files to and organizing the drive when it fell off my PC tower onto the ground, before I had made a backup of it yet, and unfortunately I 'moved' all the files from old drives and had already formatted/added new data, and not 'copied', so I didn't have those to fall back on either. Really hoping someday soon I'll be able to afford sending it back in and getting my data, but an extra $1,500+ isn't something I'm going to have lying around for awhile, especially after 2020's financial situation. Needless to say, now I am a huge backup advocate and have things backed up to multiple external drives, as well as utilizing multiple cloud backup services.

[@lionatwork8763]

And let him argue why something can't be done while the guys at DriveSavers just do it in front of him.

[@MrDotaleavers]

Rossman is on different ballgame, this facility is on a different ballgame. Rossman doesn't really recover he fix motherboards, he fix voltage. Drivesavers recover data from impossible to possible. Comming from a data recovery engineer myself. Rossman do the basic of fixing things, drivesavers just went out their own method in a non conventional way like recovery from a burned drive. HOLY FCK.

[@satagaming9144]

Rossman just owns a repair shop, focusing mainly on macbooks and iphones. He can probably do basic backup for most cases of failure, but if it were more extreme, he would probably just recommend a place like that shown in the video. It wouldn't be profitable for such a small fish as Rossman to have a $2 million clean room, since most of his profit comes from board repair.

[@rossmanngroup]

+AIRPLANES I have a video on my channel doing a platter swap at the very least and we've done quite a few heads replacements. The video is mostly live and unedited so you can watch the entire process. J9P4UadRdNA is the video ID for the one I can find doing a quick search at 1 AM. That laminar flow bench costs a few thousand dollars. Jessa Jones recently livestreamed recovering an iPhone that drivesavers couldn't. I can tell you that while you do need a clean environment, you do not need a 2 million dollar clean room to do any of this. This isn't to be self serving or to say we are the only ones who can do this. It isn't even to say we are the best. Nathan Irvine & Brian Cometa run an AMAZING business on the west coast performing miracles on all sorts of drives everyone else declared dead and they do it sub-$1000 price range regularly. While what we do is often difficult, I have spent most of my career in the field trying to demystify this idea that you need to be some rocket scientist to get any of this done, and filming that all is an attempt to prove that. If this still exists for data recovery, perhaps we should do more data recovery videos to drive this point home. I do not think someone entirely inexperienced should be mucking around expecting great results, but at the same time, this isn't magic or wizardry requiring NSA level technicians and million dollar machinery. It's same as everything else, brains and ingenuity. Just my 2 cents.

Great reply. I wasnt hating in my post like the repleis beneath me, i legit would just find it interesting to see you go head to head with this sort of outfit BECAUSE the way you run your shop. Brains and ingenuity. Heck yeah.

I used to work for a Data Recovery Company. Kroll OnTrack is probably the gold standard, followed closely by Drive Savers. We did smaller jobs with Erased Files, RAID Controller Problems, Actuators.. but DS has some really nice tools. Data Recovery is EXTREMELY expensive and not worth it to most people. Starts at $595 and goes up quickly to thousands

But can they get the password off my dead gramma's cortex so I can access the bitcoin she was mining?

[@spiritusinfinitus]

Did she have a cat? The password is tiddles123

[@madman2u]

Mittens, it has to be Mittens.

[@diGritz1]

She had several cats but she had a bad memory so she kept all their names saved.........on the computer.

[@imstupidbut]

diGritz1 it’s 69696969

[@HighestRank]

You loaded foistwarez on your grandma's PC to mine Bitcoin since she always left the thing on and didn't know what a fast PC was her entire life. There is a pit in hades reserved for exploiters of family.

6:59 oh, there's a dust on the screen or is it just on mine ?

[@Darkk6969]

This is why backups are important. More so have an OFF-SITE backups such as crashplan. I have my own servers so I make use of rsync via daily cron job. Works well for me.

[@ZacAttack9906]

What is the 3-2-1 principle?

[@luckyqualmi]

it means 3 backups of your data on 2 different backup media types where 1 is stored off site (other building, town, nation, ...) to prevent fire, floods, wars, ... depending on how important that data is.

[@WhyteLis21]

basically if it's very important data, backup and store in multiple place. not just all in one place.

[@ZacAttack9906]

WhyteLis21 would a back up a HDD and a SSD in the residence, plus a back up on a cloud based server cover these principles?

[@WhyteLis21]

cloud is great too. but i wouldn't store sensitive files on cloud too much as it could get hack. then steal sensitive information.

[@jakeross7995]

Linus: like, what year is it? **Looks at his watch**

[@ivangutowski]

Awesome video.. you mentioned the 321 principle for backup at the end. An explanation of that would have been nice. Great video.

8:18 looks like Minesweeper lol

[@startide]

Looks like the good old defrag :)

These guys are preforming technological miracles, but they can't activate Windows, lol.
