24x7 Guide to Data Recovery
Editor:- there's one kind of storage event which you can't plan for...

...When disaster strikes and you need a data recovery company.

Our Data Recovery page includes profiles for over 50 companies, articles and news about the market.

In more than decade covering the data recovery market I've learned they can fix products ranging from a single drive to every critical disk in an affected area.

Damage can be due to many accidental causes - including physical shock, fire, flood, chemical attack etc.

One thing which may surprise you is it's possible to make things even worse. So it's important to read some of these articles before you try any remedial action yourself - and that includes how you handle the affected drives.
Data Recovery Depending on their competency, DR companies can recover data from hard disks, tapes, optical drives and even some flash memory devices and mobile phones.

how to make "SSD reliability" believable
Editor:- August 2, 2010 - StorageSearch.com recently published an article - the cultivation and nurturing of "reliability" in a 2.5" SSD brand.

Reliability is an important factor in many applications which use SSDs.

But can you trust an SSD brand just because it claims to be reliable?

As we've seen in recent years - in the rush for the SSD market bubble - many design teams which previously had little or no experience of SSDs were tasked with designing such products - and the result has been successive waves of flaky SSDs and SSDs whose specifications couldn't be relied on to remain stable and in many products quickly degraded in customer sites.
storage reliability branding article As part of an education series for SSD product marketers - this new case study describes how one company - which didn't have the conventional background to start off with - managed to equate their brand of SSD with reliability in the minds of designers in the embedded systems market. ...read the article

see the storage future at Storage Visions 2011

Editor:- September 1, 2010 - StorageSearch.com today confirmed it is a media sponsor for the 10th annual Storage Visions conference taking place January 4 - 5, 2011 at the Riviera Hotel, Las Vegas, NV.

The event theme is - New Dimensions Drive Digital Storage.

In this context those dimensions are spatial - as more pixels need to be stored and manipulated to support increasing video content resolution and stereoscopic imagery.

I couldn't remember how many of these past events we've sponsored. Then I found the answer - since 2003.

The storage market has changed a lot in that time but nothing like it's going to change in the future. Vendors and oems have to anticipate the future and lay down plans to adapt and thrive in new emerging markets. If they get it right - they get another chance to compete and evolve. If they get it wrong... sianara.
