Ontrack has recovered data from a crashed drive of mine. I knew they were good but this is very impressive. I would guess NASA paid a bit more than the $1300 I coughed up.

the 340-megabyte drive was only half full, and the damage happened where data had not yet been written. Edwards attributes that to a lucky twist: The computer was running an ancient operating system, DOS, which does not scatter data all over drives as other approaches do. Good old DOS.

Also, let that be a lesson to all of you who try to hide porn on your hard drives! You know who you are!

At first glance I thought this was a joke about John Edwards recovering data to sue doctors.

"..After cleaning the platters with a chemical solution, Edwards used them in a newly built drive. The process — two days from start to finish — captured 99 percent of the drive's information..."
So, apparently, the platters were not bent in the crash.

That’s a warning to all those money launderers that the info is out there and some how some way it will be recovered.
