As a former IT guy I’ve been around a good number of crashed hard drives, especially in the old days. “Parking the heads” was incorporated in drives a long time ago so the read head would physically hit the spinning disks. So missing sectors is always possible, but a cataclysmic crash that destroys all the disk surfaces would be to my mind near inconceivable.
Data is also spread over the entire disks, especially one that’s been in service a while and not defragged.
My point is, they certainly could have lost some data off Lerner’s drive. But to lose all of 2 years of data given current forensic techniques on modern drives would pull my leg out of its socket.
I absolutely agree. And now they’re claiming the same thing happened to SIX other people all involved in the investigation. 7 individual hard drive failures in 2 or so years. All 7 failures have 0% recovery. Impossible. This is a coverup.
