In previous article we have seen the method of Simple Hot-Swap for Service Area access in a case when we need to get an access to modules.
Let’s see now how to get an access to data using the modules we have already saved, and a good working donor drive.
Hello Friends! Sometimes during the work with Samsung drives we may need an access to Service Area to check if all modules are good, and make a backup, for Full Hot-Swap, for example. One of ways of Service Area reaching is a Simple Hot-Swap. We briefly describe the procedure in this article.
The use of strong encryption is becoming more commonplace by the day. Most enterprises know full disk and file-level encryption is a necessity if you have something worth protecting. One of the strengths of PC-3000 Data Extractor is the ability to identify encryption and decrypt evidence in place, exposing data for investigation, without altering its contents.
In situation when drive doesn’t rotate some of our users believe that it’s definetely a problem with heads. But to make a right conclusion you need to firstly check SATA status register.
Deleted files recover is a very popular task. So, how to work with hard drive and recover deleted files. Let’s discuss about it in this article.
Hello friends! Beginning with Data Extractor 5.1.8, users can interact with their customers by creating a kind of report about the structure (files and folders) of user data found during data recovery. We called it DEViewer. In this article we review the functions of DEViewer.
Dear Users, you are often facing with a problem when on Seagate F3 drives you can read sectors in the beginning of the drive but from certain LBA the drive is filled with UNC error and in Data Extractor sectors are missed by utility.
This is translator issue and it can be caused by various reasons. One of them is useless (unwanted) defects in main defect list – Non-Residect G-list (NRGL).
In modern data center or enterprise environment, an iSCSI target often resides in a large storage array. These arrays can be in the form of commodity hardware with free-software-based iSCSI implementations, or as commercial products such as in StorTrends, Pure Storage, HP StorageWorks, EqualLogic, Tegile Systems, Nimble storage, Reduxio, IBM Storwize family, Isilon, NetApp filer, EMC Corporation NS-series, CX4, VNX, VNXe, VMAX, Hitachi Data Systems HNAS, or Pivot3 vSTAC.
Nearly all modern mainstream server operating systems (such as BSD, Linux, Solaris or Windows Server) can provide iSCSI target functionality, either as a built-in feature or with supplemental software. Some specific-purpose operating systems (such as FreeNAS, NAS4Free, Openfiler, OpenMediaVault, or based on OpenSolaris and derivatives like napp-it, NexentaStor, OmniOS and OpenIndiana) implement iSCSI target support.
In SCSI terminology, LUN stands for logical unit number. A LUN represents an individually addressable (logical) SCSI device that is part of a physical SCSI device (target). In an iSCSI environment, LUNs are essentially numbered disk drives. An initiator negotiates with a target to establish connectivity to a LUN; the result is an iSCSI connection that emulates a connection to a SCSI hard disk. Initiators treat iSCSI LUNs the same way as they would a raw SCSI or IDE hard drive; for instance, rather than mounting remote directories as would be done in NFS or CIFS environments, iSCSI systems format and directly manage filesystems on iSCSI LUNs.
In enterprise deployments, LUNs usually represent subsets of large RAID disk arrays, often allocated one per client. iSCSI imposes no rules or restrictions on multiple computers sharing individual LUNs; it leaves shared access to a single underlying filesystem as a task for the operating system.
There are some situations when drive go busy when reading ID or reading sectors. At such cases you can fix the problem by adjusting the automatic HDD initialization template.
