The last entry is the only one I added based on another thread. I'm still waiting to hear any confirmation if those boards actually work.

Yes when we get home and I ask how her day was she often tells me what a jerk her boss is. Fortunately we get along quite well despite the occasional work related scuffle.

Hello, I guess I should introduce myself as well: My name is Jared and I'm an alcho.... oh wait, wrong forum. :D But seriously, my name is Jared Palmer, 32 years old and I live in Providence, Rhode Island USA (no it's not really an Island). I've been doing data recovery work for about 7...

Some of you may have come across a few recent pornographic posts. Which were disgusting to say the least. For anyone who's eyes were subjected to this, I just want to say sorry! The user's IP has been banned. He tried coming on again and was subsequently banned again. Eventually he'll get...

Oh and thanks for the pics. Its nice to see who we're actually talking to. :D

Even I have to admit that another forum isn't "necessary". But for SEO reasons I know some people like to spread their posts out to different places(good for link building). So having an alternative site to hddguru for the occasional post or topic is handy. Besides, I've often wondered what...

Right now the registration is wide open. I didn't expect too many random people to find this forum just yet. I'll have to start pre-approving members if it happens again.

Thank you HaQue for being on top of this. I never even saw the posts.

So I'm considering posting all my collected HDD resources to an FTP so others can have access and even upload theirs. Does anyone know if there's any possible legal reprocussions for doing this? I would assume they have copyrights on the code, but I'm just wondering if they've ever made an...

Agreed, that's why for now i just offer to mail them to Luke and let him deal with it. :D

Hi guys, I know this information isn't new as it was already posted by Acelabs, but I'd like to have a sticky thread about this for quick reference. Here's a list of SATA compatible boards for WD My Passports, My Elements, etc. that have a native USB port: USB -> SATA 701605 - 701499...

I'm not too worried about this customer reading this, it's an older couple who barely know how to check their email. Besides, they wouldn't have known I was the owner of this forum unless someone mentioned it. Thanks Luke!

So I get a customer who brings in a drive for recovery and is willing to pay anything to get the data back. Turns out the drive had scratches on the platters and couldn't be saved. So then after we tell them the bad news, they tell us they had everything backed up to Carbonite anyway and want...

Is anyone else getting a sudden mass number of thumbdrives? I've had about 5 a day showing up this week which is more than I usually see in two weeks.

Update: I just finally got around to opening the second drive that came in in the clean room, and it's definitely bad heads (and platters for that matter). So I guess it's just a coincidence that two came in with exact symptoms. Just seemed strange.

The two drives are WD5000BEKT-75KA90 and -60KA90. Can't say I've even encountered encrypted SA before. The modules I managed to read look normal. I was able to read them because one of the drives did come ready for about a minute before shutting back down. Haven't been able to replicate it...

Hi Brian, Glad to have you here on the forum. The more professionals who join the better. I'll definitely be asking you more about Visual NAND Reconstructor which is on my wish list this year.

In the area where I live WD Europa family drives don't seem to be too common. Then all of the sudden I get in two, nearly identical models, manufactured the same month, both from HP laptops, that come in on the exact same day. Plus they have the same symptoms, a bit of clicking then they shut...

I just noticed on Dophin's website that they are now selling a kit of SATA PCB's compatable with the USB My Passport varients: http://www.dolphindatalab.com/product/w ... b-package/ I'd love to see some other kits, such as an entire WD Marvel or F3 family set. Perhaps they'll get to that...

I'm sure you already knew this, because here you are. Welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy it. :D
