I celebrate my 20th year running a data recovery lab 2 days from now (Started 8-1-2002). Modern drives are so much more difficult, success rates lower, and the capacity of the average recovery is literally about 150x greater than when I started, yet transfer speeds have only increased about 3x, so everything takes much, much longer. All these things yield much less profitability than in the past. There's also less appreciation from the average consumer for the complications of the industry. I'm definitely thinking of quitting at some point.
Exactly! You have to go more to fully targeted data recovery on the larger drives unless you don't mind waiting a week or more in some cases.. and all that grinding lowers the success rate too even if you get the drive going pretty good.
Hi Erkin, ive been fascinated by your videos , ive watched most of them i think. Im not in data recovery but I am a machinist engineer and watching you work brings me joy, there is something so satisfying about watching a master of their craft at work even if you dont understand the software side much. Thank you for the content you post.
Hi Erkin, I've watched every one of your videos absolutely glued to them, I admire your work. But I understand your busy, very happy to wait. Great q and a session to. Will keep an eye for your next one. Good luck bud.
Welcome back!! I'm not a data recovery business but a comp tech. I really like your videos and helped me on some basics stuff I do here. thank you again.
Hello my friend, I am here, supporting the channel. We all going to hear all that you need to share with all of us. I am glad to see you back, no not stress out... you are a hard working person, I appreciate that. Thanks, Erkin.
Welcome back, Erkin! It’s nice to see you again. I’ve got a PC-3000 Flash and nearly everything DeepSpar now. Any content you have recovering data from any type of device is greatly valued and appreciated. I’d love to see any tips and tricks you have for recovering data from helium-filled hard drives. Do you utilize a helium-filled workstation for drives you need to open like when performing a head stack replacement?
Good to see you back! the input you have provided has been invaluable and added greatly to my understanding of data recovery. The information has helped me recover data that would have been lost and bring a smile to a close friend.
Nice to see you again, and yes new palmer charger and spyglass are nasty drives to work on and I've a rosewood now giving me nightmares... keep up the good work mate your an inspiration to is All!
25:48 I'm several months late seeing this content, but I'm actually a technician turned engineer through both formal post secondary education and fully verifiable work experience and yes, I've maintained the common IPC certs (J-STD-001, A-610, 7711/7721, etc.). Some will take my forthcoming comment with praise, whilst others will take it with severe criticism. IPC certifications and specified criteria are mainly applied to the OE production environment, especially for mission critical and/or life support products. Ultimately, most of the practical and useful soldering techniques can be found in this and other quality UA-cam content channels out there, so pursuing IPC certification for independent repair is both superfluous and very expensive. In regards to the electronics involved in the repair and/or data recovery, some of the knowledge in post secondary schooling may help, but the majority of practical, real-world knowledge is primarily gained through good old-fashioned hands-on experience. In regards to Erkin's main topic for this video, I 110% agree that while the data recovery area is practical, one realizes for one or more reasons that eventually they'll encounter a plateau.
I think it is a field that may die down but not be gone for good. With 1) A lot of OEMs, Apple and Microsoft Surfaces are main example, of NAND being soldered to the board, encrypted by default etc just make it harder and harder to recovery. I try to get all my clients on a good backup solutions both locally with external drives and also cloud based. I know a while back, gezz its been almost a year, when I didn't realized what kind of SSD i was using, that Intel Optane drive, where I was attempting to clone from the laptop it was in and my software couldn't see the drive so me being stupid put it in AHCI vs RAID not realizing it was a 32GB Optane and 512 QLC on the same chip running in their hybrid RAID 0 mode, and nearly lost clients data, My boss needed up finding a guy locally. Older guy, not as good of a setup as you, and i feel like his knowledge of flash was meh. I so how, and don't know how as I was never able to recreate this issue, was able to boot off a Windows to Go drive and I saw both drives, first thing I did was do a R-Studio image of both. All the meta data was on the 32GB but all the data was on the 512 and you just couldn't get anything from a scan. This guy didn't really know what to do or knew anything about it, and he tired what he could. Finally i gave him both of my images and he was able to use PC 3000 to reconstruct the data but not recover the file system as a whole. I later found out the key to that SSD but again could never see both drives again. I actually use that drive as a portable SSD just using the 512 lol we gave them a normal NVMe to avoid this issue. But the key was PCIe lane bifurcation. It is actually two separate SSDs. Intel also has no way to "Rebuild" this if someone mess that stuff up. But i learned my less. My 1000 dollar lesson lol I mean all he really did was rebuild it with PC 3000. Luckily most of the drive failures i deal with, and just dealt with one, is no biggie as most of my clients are cloud backups anymore on anything important. Just toss in a new drive reinstall windows and go. Even though we got this new local guy, I still prefer you. Only used him the one time though.
Your back! I never really thought about it. We crush our customers bad chip-based drives. Maybe we should start saving all of them, and send you a batch of the bad ones for donors down the road.
Hi Erkin, thanks for answering my question @ 13:56. Very informative answer, especially about the Sandisk 170MB/s cards as I use a few of those already.
I don't understand people who just open drives themselves in an attempt to repair them... What are they going to do when they do end up opening the drives? Spraying it down with some compressed air? 😂
that is not really bad. For hard drives right now only Helium based SA access is not possible and some SAS drives, but for SSD support it looks really not good :( PC3000 helps for sure, but there are so many SSDs that are not on support list.
Me too! I have a drive with close to 4tb of raw footage, but since I mainly work flash these days its hard to make time to edit work that was not done by me, because I need to watch the whole process and cut important parts. When I do work on drives, I remember what I filmed and what I want to keep as part of the video so it is much quicker. Maybe closer to summer I will take a break for 2-3 weeks and just catch up on hard drives for this channel
Hi, could you get me some help I have a mobile huawei y7 prime 2019 and I filled the hole of its memory and it was out of power so it shut down and never reboot just showing the logo "Huawei" and shut down again, and I need to get back my data in any way ,what would I do?
you could hire someone to edit the footage for you, you just film it and send it away to get edited, that might be a option for youm many twitch streamers do it, post their streams to youtube, edited by someone else.
Hello friend I am a follower of your channel, I really like everything you do in data recovery, see currently resivire a course of rusolut on data recovery from nand memories, I would recommend what do you think? You teach classes I am from LIMA-PERU, you are the maximum
I have taken the Rusolut training when the tool was just released, and since then it had grown into something way more powerful. It definitely a great tool, and will give you very good understanding on how NAND cases get solved. We get some cases that can only be solved using this tool
@@hddrecoveryservices Oh no. I mean, that you should "try on the fly" at least.. And there are some Apple products. And encryption :( That's... I'd call a lost game , like the fight of the armour and shell. Sorry for misunderstanding. Really, I've read what I wrote and feel... Unjust at least.

Thank you so much!
Your work is some of the most intense stuff I've seen, really pushes me to do better myself

Hi Erkin, thanks for answering my question @ 13:56. Very informative answer, especially about the Sandisk 170MB/s cards as I use a few of those already.
No worries
Do you need to use a specific head comb for each individual model hard drive? Or can one do all of them?
I don't understand people who just open drives themselves in an attempt to repair them... What are they going to do when they do end up opening the drives? Spraying it down with some compressed air? 😂
People are curious by nature.
Long time no see .. great video as always 👍
Thank you Tomas!
Welcome back!
Thanks, glad to be back
Not to forget Unqualified people and shops who makes things even worse..
I'll be aiming most content in future to prevent that when it comes to the data recovery on Hard Drives
Hi Erkin, after a long times...we are waiting for new videos
Thanks Ranga
Good to see you again. Maybe if you just post one video a week, that will be easier for you.
I will definitely keep up with that
im looking forward to seeing your new content, have you ever watched louis rossmann?
Yeah I've seen a lot of their stuff.
Clear Answer NO we might stop using HDDs soon but SOLID STATE DRIVES are here to stay for a long while.
that is not really bad. For hard drives right now only Helium based SA access is not possible and some SAS drives, but for SSD support it looks really not good :( PC3000 helps for sure, but there are so many SSDs that are not on support list.
🙏
I miss the real hard drive recovery videos, I know that's not the thing anymore.
Me too! I have a drive with close to 4tb of raw footage, but since I mainly work flash these days its hard to make time to edit work that was not done by me, because I need to watch the whole process and cut important parts.

What are the private courses you'd buy? I'm guessing the PC-3000 courses by Ace would be a good place to start.
for learning PC3000 they would be amazing.
Do anyone know how to retrieve data from a totally dead Samsung galaxy A8 Android tablet.??
Hi, could you get me some help
I have a mobile huawei y7 prime 2019 and I filled the hole of its memory and it was out of power so it shut down and never reboot just showing the logo "Huawei" and shut down again, and I need to get back my data in any way ,what would I do?
you could hire someone to edit the footage for you, you just film it and send it away to get edited, that might be a option for youm many twitch streamers do it, post their streams to youtube, edited by someone else.
Ads and sponsored products are required for that.
I had done that in past, but I feel like the amount of back and forth with editot sometimes can take more time then editing yourself :)

I would like you to teach me remotely can?
share your knowledge so that we can all take care of this industry, with the best practice and standard that exist..
Please consider :)
I think next year I will be sharing the knowledge at out private lessons :)

What's up Andy!
Can you tell me which software is best for recover deleted or formated photo and videos from hard drive.
( windows7 installed)
R-studio, UFS explorer. DMDE, Klennet there are so many
@@hddrecoveryservices thanx a lot
Hello sir I am living in india I have a card formatted by sony camra sir can you recover this card
Yes it is possible for most cards, as long as it is not an LDPC algorithm.
Hello sir
My sd card has cracked I need help you please help me I want my all data please help
We don't solve cracked cards. Sorry
I facepalmed due SSD data recovery _supposed_ "impossibility". You NEED TO LEARN every hour and COMPETE WITH THE TIME...
Are you saying you know something about SSDs that I don't :)
@@hddrecoveryservices Oh no. I mean, that you should "try on the fly" at least.. And there are some Apple products. And encryption :(
That's... I'd call a lost game , like the fight of the armour and shell.
Sorry for misunderstanding. Really, I've read what I wrote and feel... Unjust at least.
Does not explain anything at all. Antarctics needs data recovery too, riiiiight? ;)
Thank you for retrying to do videos at least!
If you got specific questions ask away. I'll do my best to answer
very very informative. Hugs from Brazil
