FROM DIGITAL LIFE
At the Adroit labs (ADRC), an INCREDIBLE thing happened. Recovery for both drives was 100 per cent successful - and it was done in less than two hours... - Digital Life
Over at Kroll Ontrack, the results weren't that bright. Data in the drive that was thrown and kicked down the stairs was not recoverable at all - Digital Life
For Kroll Ontrack, the disk ran over by the car and hammered...only 66 out of 87 files were recovered - Digital Life
