Is it possible that the hard drive enclosur is damaged but the drive itself is still fine?And he can pull the harddrive itself out and put in a new enclousur and still recover the data.
i would like to see corsair survivor flash drive vs generic flash drive. All geeks know original hdd wont work if you drop it hard like you did. I wonder you are even a "geek" !? lol
Yea, Its pretty obvious that throwing any form of HDD at a wall and dropping to concrete its screwed. I would have liked to see what it would be like if they checked the drives between each test. Even though the HDD was screwed after the first one.
used to have the pretec unbrakable(2gb) but it so battered and its starting to go bezerk and it looses data so i figured out it was time for a change ;)
i've had that happen to a customers laptop drive This was with a external case plugged into my desktop running windows 7 .. I ran some data recovery software and got all the data back ... the hard drive was corupt ... then formated the drive and it worked fine... it might not be as damaged as you think it is
I love your work

Except with flash (USB) you have limited space so you can't back up your entire rig

hmmm did you even bother to try another enclosure with the same drive water can easily shor componets
if it spun up at all its a miracle after chucking it up against a cement wall and ladding on a paved surface

I don't see a Skyline at 3:35, I only see the Nissan GT-R, which, unlike its predecessors, is not a Skyline.
The conclusion of this show is, well, quite predictable!
