This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on July 18, 2014 at 3:02 pmDriveSavers, Inc. announced data recovery services for Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) HDDs.
Should data loss occur, DriveSavers Data Recovery experts are available 24/7 to help users recover files from drives that implement this new technology.
DriveSavers is the first company to perform SMR data recovery. Similar to the traditional HDD, SMR technology utilizes spinning platters and read-write heads. However, the primary differentiators between the two drives include storage capacity and an architectural change in the way data is stored. SMR space includes 5 or 6TB in a single HDD and data is stored by overlapping tracks to increase track density and improve aerial density.
“As new technologies are constantly released into the marketplace, DriveSavers is always working to update our practices and proprietary expertise to recover data from new storage devices,” said Chris Bross, CTO, DriveSavers. “As the SMR drive continues to gain popularity in enterprise and data center applications, the vulnerability of data loss also increases. With more than 28 years in the industry, DriveSavers continues to stand in the forefront of data recovery and is ready to recover data from SMR drive technologies.”
