Data recovery, disaster recovery is a process of saving, rescuing, or salvaging data from any kind of storage media such as hard drive, raid, memory card, floppy, CD & DVD.
In a data recovery process, in order to extract data from a storage device, an expert first repairs the damage media, and then extracts the desired information with extensive care. Over the period of time, any storage medium encounters with two kinds of Failures. logical or physical.
Logical Failures: An inconsistent file system state causes a variety of logical problems to an operating system. Strange behavior directories, system crashes, and an actual loss of data are few examples of it.
Other Instances:
o Virus Attack
o Operating system not found
o Non system disk error
o Blue screen

Crystal Group tested an extended temperature configuration of their RS112 model for performance in extreme temperature environments. The in-house test was conducted as a steady state operational soak at 75C (167F) while the unit continuously executed eight instances of the Prime95 torture test. Prime95 was configured to execute small FFTs in order to exercise all 8 cores to 100% utilization. Any CPU throttling, rebooting, lock-ups or checksum errors in Prime 95 would be considered a failure.
