The client is responsible for removal of all company data prior to return of an asset to IBM. However, we do offer an optional disk sanitization and cleansing service that overwrites their data. Hard-file data is cleansed via a 3x overwrite process so that data is virtually irretrievable. This option meets Department of Defense 5220-22-m 3-pass standards. All nonfunctional or non-marketable hard drives are "hammer destroyed".

What do I do about data on my hard drives?

Retire-IT Computer Recyclers
No worries. You do not have to worry about the removal of company data prior to return of an asset to Retire-IT. Our process adheres to the Department of Defense standards. We overwrite every working hard drive so that data is virtually impossible to recover. If a hard drive is inoperable, or the overwrite procedure cannot be verified, Retire-IT physically destroys the hard drive to ensure data is secure.

I have mirrored/RAID hard drives. Won't that protect me from viruses or data loss?

Support - Frequently Asked Questions
No. Mirrored hardware only protects you from a hardware failure. Since 90% of data loss is due to data corruption or user error, mirrored equipment offers no protection. This is because corrupt data is instantly written to the mirror equipment. The only way to protect your data is by having a backlog of backups to restore from.

Can I save data on the hard drives of computers in the Smart Classrooms?

FAQs for SMART Classrooms
No. These PCs are protected with Deep Freeze software, which restores the PC to a standard setting every time it is rebooted. Any data saved on the desktop or within any folders of the hard drive will be removed during this process. If you wish to save data, use your preferred method of portable storage (CD, USB storage device, etc). You may also save data in your PirateDrive; this is password-protected network storage space.

What are the causes of data loss in hard drives?

Why Hard disk drives are so sensitive?

RAID Server Data Recovery
A hard disk drive consists of a mechanical part (HDA) head-and-disk assembly and a (PCB) - printed circuit board. HDA acts as a case for all mechanical parts of a drive and contains one more chip performing the functions of a preamplifier/commutator. The PCB consists of series of chips which control the mechanical parts, encode/decode data on the platters/magnetic surfaces, then transfer the data through an external interface. Generally, PCBs are located outside HDA, in its lower part.

What hard drives are required?

Beyond, Inc. - Frequently Asked Questions
DV has a data rate of 3.6 MB/sec. This means that in order to capture DV onto a hard drive in real-time the hard drive must be able to sustain at least 6 to 9 MB/s minimum. Note that peak data rate such as the 160 or 320 MB/s you hear about has nothing to do with sustained data rate. Our systems have lead the way for both data rate and size. We have introduced many industry firsts in the storage area. Even our low-end systems today have drives that will sustain over 20 MB/s.

How possible is it to recover data from a crashed hard drive?

GRC | SpinRite 6.0 FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
That depends entirely upon "how crashed" the drive is. But SpinRite is often credited with performing "true miracles" of data recovery. Please read some of the true-life SpinRite testimonials we have received to get a sense for what SpinRite has done and can probably do for you if you ever need it. It is obviously possible for a drive to be so totally dead that it is only useful as a door stop. But today's modern drives struggle to stay alive and to die slowly.
