Don't Waste $1000 on Data Recovery

RapidSpar is the first cloud-driven device built to help IT generalists and other non-specialized users recover client data from damaged or failing HDDs/SSDs

Linus - Because of this video. I was able to recover my data removing the configuration chip from my old HDD and placing it onto a new main board. I got back pictures from when my daughter was first born. I cant tell you how much I appreciate your videos. Cheers!

"dont waste $1000 on data recovery!" *proceeds to show the most common drive malfunction type in the first two minutes and tells us to go to an $1000 professional*

[tucker]

Ironically they lost some of the footage of them learning to recover data

[Raik]

"How to save money in data recovery..."


Buying two drives instead of one in the first place.

In the video: "This is the Rapidspar. It costs around $2000."

0:44 one guy got the message to pretend to be working, and one didn't XD

[mariuswallentinsen]

Linus: *Tells to be careful because of physical problem*

Also Linus: *Instantly lifts the drive before it has time to stop spinning*

[cferracini]

This just made me want to have a backup for my backup and maybe a backup for that backup

2017: *Linus' drops his hard drive at DriveSavers' office*
2018: *Linus' drops his hard drive at DeepSpar's office*

Linus: So yarek, where did you learn to do all this?
Yarek: I waz KGB.

5:15 - That panic as Linus just scratches the metal of one drive across the PCB of the other... "Yeah, they look(ed) perfect."

[fsfaith]

That guy in the background during in the intro is waiting for Linus to shut up so he can get back to work.

TestDisk is a pretty amazing program for if you have a few bad sectors or if you accidentally formatted a drive

[HomerSparkle]

Bad sectors just need more discipline. I give them a sound thrashing then send them to bed with no supper. Works every time.

[WyvernApalis]

Bold dude at the start looking at Linus like he's looking some strange being

My favorite hard disk failure was on a pentium 4 1.4ghz computer with rdram. The drive was a Seagate drive. I had just gotten home from high school went to turn on the computer probably for a Diablo 2 gaming session and on boot up the drive just spun faster than I've ever heard a hard drive spin ever in my life. Smoke started pouring out of the case and the drive platters sounded like they broke all this in under maybe 5 seconds. Bet they couldn't recover that hahahs

One of my favorite data recovery utilities is ddrescue for Linux. Assuming you just have bad sectors, you can make a bit for bit copy of your drive and when bad sectors are encountered, they are added to a log and skipped for the time being. After the program has reached the end of the drive, it goes back and tries the failed sectors again, pruning the log as it gets good reads. You can have it repeat this process ad infinitum, of quit after a number of passes.

My xbox one has made that sound from the hard drive at the beginning, for the past week. I thought it was just some overheating, but now I know. This would explain why it was extremely slow all the sudden. Getting it serviced now, thanks Linus.

[dcabral]

I love videos like this! Basically, the best Hard drive or SSD you can get is anything x2, and keep copies of the same data on another drive.
