    Worked with a customer who used these guys, they recovered 100% of the data on a proprietary constructed drive from the early 1980's in a one of a kind system and it was only like 20MB of storage. This was in 2011 and DriveSavers just stripped down the drive to the raw platters and mounted them on a custom spindel rig to read the 1s/0s. Then they analyzed how the drive arranged data on the platters from the chips on the controller and reverse engineered how to read the data and shipped the data back to us on a USB drive. Highly impressed and the recovery of the data save probably 6 months of information that was vital to a new system that was replacing the three decades old system.

Why? I wouldn't pay for example 1000$ to recover a data, cause I prefer to eat, to sleep in warm home and have some things that matters more than data.

Btw. my "shit hole country" has a higher living standard as well as a higher educational standard than yours, asuming that you are from the USA (which btw. is not "America" by definition and therefor Canadians are also Americans @Deadly SP ;) ) Oh, and Star Gaming, a rant would need someone who rants, what I clearly did not.^^

    Ripping the "camera element" out of a phone to "destroy the images" and then "placing it back on the victim" is probably the dumbest, most convoluted shit I've heard haha.
    Basically, once it's in your possession, dispose of it in a way in which data recovery is absolutely impossible. Which honestly is not that difficult.
    All that criminal did was plant his own evidence all over the crime scene.

      Yeah, Doesn't matter if it is. If they need for re-install a fresh copy of windows each time, to remove all the possible "Contamination". and you do about 3 to 5 hard-drive recovers a day as an example. There isn't any point for a windows activation. Windows activation doesn't do too much anyway.

    when you mentioned mp3 players, i remembered the first one i ever owned. well, technically 2nd, but first one i bought. it was displayed as the world's smallest mp3 player, which was a cubic inch all around, rechargable li-ion battery, and it came with a special style earbud cord that looped around your neck, creating a necklace look. and surprisingly, the headphone jack doubled as your i/o port on the usb cord. well, after about 2 or 3 months of use, i guess the data got corrupted, and i couldn't use it anymore. luckily, i think i still had my backup mp3/radio combo. despite it only having 256 megs of storage
