Hello Friends!
Starting from the PC-3000 Flash 7.2.9 version, you’re able to use the automatic BadBytes cutting feature (Inserts, Addings, Bad Columns).
This new mode can help to significantly decrease the time of the manual BadBytes research and cutting. Please follow the link below to learn more on how to use this method in practice.
More about Bad Bytes are in our previous articles:
PC-3000 Flash. How to detect and eliminate addings (Inserts, Bad Columns) in dump
Very often when we work with different drives (especially with the AU controller and Sandisk) with a huge capacity (64gb and above), we are faced with a situation when the complete ECC correction and the readout process might take several hours.
PLEASE NOTE: We do not recommend you to use this method in all your further cases! Sometimes for getting a good result all blocks (even not filled at 100% with data) must be fixed! Otherwise, there might be a huge problem in the image building stage! We recommend using Reread Map Generator only for the most urgent cases when you don’t have enough time for good and complete ECC correction!
Hello friends!
Apple Fusion drive is a logical (virtual) disk with a file system. In this article we will show you the process of data recovery from Apple Fusion Drive which is based on the building of these logical disk and file system.
Outlined below is a procedure of recovering data from Fusion Drive:
Let’s take a closer look at these steps.
In this article we will speak about data recovery from SSD drives based on Silicon Motion SM controllers. This types of CPU are very popular and usually they are using in a wide number of different value and low-level solid state drives.
Starting from PC-3000 6.3x and PC-3000 SSD 2.4.4, it’s become possible to work with Phison-based drives.
Right now the list of supported models includes the following cpu modifications:
FileVault is a high-end disk encryption program used in Mac OS X 10.3 and later. Most of the Apple’s products that came out after 2003 use FileVault to provide users with a reliable tool to decrypt home folders and personal data. And FileVault does the job well by preventing unauthorized access to encrypted hard drives content. No data recovery specialist without the right tools and special knowledge will be able to access the data on an Apple computer.
Cases, when the encrypted hard drive is damaged to boot may present a serious challenge even to a skilled professional. In this article, we will describe an algorithm of bypassing FileVault protection and give some tips on recovering data from damaged encrypted Apple hard drives.
Below is a schematic diagram of the FileVault encryption method:
Hello friends!
Did you ever face the situation when you need to change the Model name and/or Serial number of Seagate F3 drives?
It’s useful when different DVR systems, game consoles, etc. do not accept the non-native drives because of the verification procedure – e.g. the S/N of the drive doesn’t match the internal one (which is stored in the Firmware of the device).
In today’s article, we will describe how to change these values on the Seagate F3 arch. drives.
Hello, friends!
This article continues the topic of building a good folder structure for AU6989 and AU6998 in PC-3000 Flash.
As you probably know, there are a lot of cases when we can’t determine the ECC because of the insertions. Usually, even the ordinary insertions caused a lot of problems. So, what to do if they are XORed?
Hello Friends!
Seagate drives are very popular, but they also have a lot of issues in their FW. In this article we will show you how to resolve one such issue: a strange SenseCode = 87270000 error, and get a full data access.
We all love Virtual machines. They allow us to find the balance between scale and consolidated environment and help us to decrease the resources required for a proper functionality.
VMware vStorage Virtual Machine File System is a high-performance cluster file system that provides storage virtualization that is optimized for virtual machines.
This picture (from https://www.vmware.com) shows how multiple Servers with several virtual machines running on them can use VMFS to share a common clustered pool of storage.
Looks like Virtual Machine File System is an excellent file system. Except for one case: a failure without a backup.
