DriveSavers Data Recovery Services Now Available for Helium Hard Disk Drives


NOVATO, Calif. --(Business Wire)--

DriveSavers, the worldwide leader in data recovery, eDiscovery and digital forensic solutions, announced today data recovery services for helium-filled hard disk drives (HDD) are now available. DriveSavers Data Recovery experts are available 24/7 to help users recover files from drives should data loss occur while utilizing this recent technological development.

The Ultrastar® He6 is a 6TB hard drive manufactured by HGST, a Western Digital subsidiary. It is the world's first hermetically sealed, helium-filled drive for massive scale-out environments. As helium is a lighter substance than air, the platters of this technology meet less resistance, thus generating less heat and using a reduced amount of power.

Even with the addition of helium and its benefits, vulnerabilities of HDDs still include the potential for electro-mechanical failure due to component and media damage, firmware corruption and other yet-to-be-discovered scenarios of data lossor device malfunction.



"In an enormous market with more than four zettabytes of global storage, we at DriveSavers are maintaining our position of leading the industry in cutting edge technology and recoveries," said Chris Bross, chief technology officer at DriveSavers Data Recovery (News - Alert). "In yet another industry first, we are proud to be the first data recovery vendor to successfully perform helium HDD data recovery. We are constantly working to update practices and proprietary technology to stay ahead of storage developments. Our customers can rest assured that we can safely and securely recover data from all storage technologies."
