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?
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.
The computer repairman.
Depends on how its compressed on the hard drive.
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.
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.
The repairman’s argument makes sense.
I believe the computer repairman. There may be 450 gigs worth of deleted file names, but as explained in the article if the area on the drive has been overwritten by new data, then the original file is unrecoverable.
There are super-high end methods to theoretically reveal "layers" of hard drive use which is why a "military grade" hard drive deletion overwrites the entire drive several times with random data.
But I highly doubt that this level of forensic hard drive examination has been done, or at this point could be done, on the original drive.
The technical illiteracy is mind blowing.
Windows 10 & 300G of data on a 500G HD qualifies as "full" by my standards. I suppose the critics never heard of a drive partition.
That stated, my own OS is drive C, a 500G PARTITION.
The other drives - e.g., D, E, etc., respectively - are 500G 'partitions' each. My backup folder size from work alone - spanning a mere 3 years, absent the OS - is 208G on one of those drives.
I'm compelled to dismiss this as BS.
I purchased a software program a decade ago that helped me scour levels of formatting and get over 3x the ammount of data that would fit on the disk normally. Most of it uncorrupted.
did the Mac guy actually try to see if he could recover “deleted” or overwritten data and was unsuccessful???
There could have ben all manner of data compression going on. It’s possible a 1TB drive could store 1.5TB of info.
