Hunter Laptop Computer Repairman Says No Way 450 Gigs of Additional Data Was Included on Hunter’s Laptop
The Gateway Pundit ^ | April 8, 2022 | Joe Hoft

Earlier this week it was reported that there are an additional 450 gigabytes of material on Hunter Biden’s laptop that have previously gone unreported. However, on Thursday the computer repairman who was given the abandoned laptop says this isn’t so.

There were several news reports this week suggesting there is more on the Hunter laptop than was previously discovered. However, this notion was refuted by the computer repairman who first looked at the laptop and who made a copy of it before handing it over to the FBI.

John Paul Mac Isaac claims that there 300 gigs of data on a 500 gig drive. There was no way that 450 gigs could be on the laptop because there was no more room

Another expert explained it this way:

It is technically impossible to recover 450 GB of erased data from a 500 GB drive with only 200 GB free. When you delete a file from a computer, you are telling the OS to forget the location of that file on the drive, but the file is still there. It is possible to recover a deleted file as long as the OS hasn’t written new data over the file’s previous location. If 450 GB of data was un-deleted from the drive, that would leave 250 GB of data recovered beyond the original 500 GB drive capacity. The newly discovered 450 GB of data combined with the existing original 300 GB data would require the original copy of the drive to be at least 750 GB. The drive only had 500 GB.

Isaac says the data doesn’t line up. Simple math would tell us he is right.

I’m sure the defenders of Hunter are playing semantics in this situation. They are truly desperate and when push comes to shove I’ll bet all of it is real.
If anything, my guess is that the 450 GB represents the total amount of Data retrieved.

What is the purpose of the claim about the alleged newly discovered material? That it was added to make Biden look bad? That it had been deleted or “lost” to protect Biden?

I read awhile ago they pulled down a lot from the cloud, plus this is 3 laptops IIRC.

I have never thought the only source was this guy.

I think Miles Guo got images of all his laptops from China contacts.

There have been stories circulated that Hunter had more than one laptop (one left with the repair guy, one some Russians stole, etc.) Perhaps the 450 Gb of recovered data is from another laptop?

It’s deep state disinformation.

The repair guy is correct. So, when the “450 GB” is disproven, in fact shown to be fake, people will give up on the real content already in the public domain.

John Paul Mac Isaac claims that there [WAS] 300 gigs of data on a 500 gig drive.

I'm guessing that's what it was supposed to say. Gay man got all exited. His boyfriend must have been in the room.

Maybe it was on the cloud and accessed by laptop by OneDrive or similar service.

I wonder what the ‘reset’ oligarchy is implementing while we obsess over a sexual degenerate drug addicts porn? The magician wants us to watch the one hand while the other loads the demise of our economy with the other. The regime is about to, in months, institute digital money. Is it any wonder that same devil wants us obsessed with the biden family crime family, an obsession which the oligarchy can squelch any time they choose as they take complete control over we the people.

Maybe the report of the extra 450 gig of data is a ruse, a set up, once exposed, to muddle the true story and facts about the laptop, and some Conservatives got drawn into believing it just because it fit the expectations about the sleazy Bidens.

I have followed Jack Maxey on Gettr and we are going into the third week of him promising to release the data. He promised to release it by...two weeks ago. Don’t hold your breath.

One way to find “more” data than previously reported is if you find a compressed file and manage to decompress it. Previously it might have been categorized as either unimportant, unreadable, or “deleted” data.

450/500GB of data is a LOT. So far we’ve seen a few pictures of Hunter with his meth pipe. A lot more could drop.

Yep 500g is about right for a 4 year old laptop.

It probably doesn’t matter much. I bet you can drive a truck thru the chain of custody.

Wrong question.

A relevant question is WHO is telling repairman that 450 gigs of “deleted data” was recovered?

It’s possible the info was garbled deliberately or ignorantly.

The accurate info could have been out of 200 gig free, 150 gig of deleted data was eecovered.

300 + 150 = 450.

Thus sets the narrative that the data and it’s origin is “controversial and suspect” I was waiting for this.

There could also be compression that can cut almost half of text, not much on images or audio or executables.
