OMG My Hard Drive DIED!!!! Now What???

This month we are going to take a look at what’s new in the data recovery world. We will look at newer technologies such as SSDs and flash drives and discuss how recovering data from them is different from a traditional spindle drive. We will also talk about minimizing the chances of drive failures, how and why they fail, and whether your chances of a successful recovery are better or worse than with a traditional hard drive. Guidance will also be given on what to do when a drive fails to give the best chance for recovery.
