June 7, 2007: The 2007 Techno Security show is over and was a great success.

DeepSpar Data Recovery Systems was sponsoring and exhibiting at the Techno Security Conference in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

While at the show, we were called upon to perform three emergency hard drive recoveries. The first was for the Marriott Hotel’s IT department who had a hard drive failure. A quick firmware adjustment was made in PC-3000 and the drive was then imaged on the DeepSpar Disk Imager; and they had their data back. The second was a laptop drive belonging to one of our fellow vendors at the show. His laptop had become unstable due likely to minute mechanical wear. This caused the drive to fail entirely. With the DeepSpar Disk Imager, we were able to work through the unstable areas and bad sectors to create an image of the drive. We then used Data Extractor to repair the file structure that had become corrupted when the drive failed. We then transferred all the critical files to the vendor’s laptop (with a new hard drive installed) and he was back up and running again. Our third recovery at the show involved a password protected laptop drive. With the new password utilities of PC-3000 UDMA, we were able to unlock the drive to give the person full access to the data.

Doing the live recoveries gave us a great opportunity to demonstrate first hand how DeepSpar’s data recovery solutions were able to work successfully on real world cases. Our thanks go out to the show organizers and everyone that came to see us.


May 17, 2007: We are now accepting orders for the new PC-3000 UDMA version.

To keep pace with new technologies coming from hard drive manufacturers, a new hardware PCI card and software version of PC-3000 has been developed. This new version now works in UDMA modes for improved speed and efficiency. Additionally, the new PC-3000 UDMA will support a large variety of new drives as well as all of the drives supported by the existing PC-3000 PCI version and the majority of drives supported by the previous PC-3000 ISA version.
