DriveSavers Data Recovery Joins SandForce Trusted™ Program

DriveSavers, the worldwide leader in data recovery services, today announced that SandForce® Inc., the pioneer of SSD (Solid State Drive) Processors that enable standard NAND flash deployment in enterprise, client and industrial computing applications, has added DriveSavers as an authorized SandForce Trusted™ member.

SandForce delivers world-class SSD technology with reliability, performance, and power efficiency that differentiates SandForce SSD Processors from standard flash controllers. SandForce DuraClass™ technology is architected to scale and compensate for commodity NAND flash memory shortcomings, ensuring SSDs can be reliably used in enterprise and client computing environments for generations to come.

Because user error, mismanagement, and software or unexpected hardware malfunctions can lead to SSD failure, SandForce is working with the leading data recovery service provider, DriveSavers, to give its customers a reliable, safe and secure solid state drive data recovery solution in the case that data loss occurs.

“DriveSavers was our first choice to expand the SandForce Trusted program to include data recovery services,” said Kent Smith, Senior Director of Product Marketing for SandForce. “While SandForce SSD Processors eliminate the most common data loss scenarios through DuraClass NAND flash management features, DriveSavers can provide the SSD a safety net should the unexpected SSD failure happen and data loss occurs.”

“We are thrilled to be part of the SandForce Trusted™ program,” said Chris Bross, Senior Enterprise Engineer at DriveSavers. We have a long history of analyzing complex data structures and overcoming technological challenges and generating successful SSD recoveries. We continually invest in SSD data recovery research and development to ensure our engineers and technology are ahead of the curve as these devices continue to gain market share.”

Photo Recovery for the SanDisk Media Card

It is very common for the SanDisk Media card to suddenly lose photos saved into them, even if you are not intentionally deleting photos from the card. This is a very common error, and fortunately, this can be solved and photos can be retrieved using photo recovery software. You will learn how to recover lost photos from the SanDisk Media card as you read on this article.

When you notice that your photos have been deleted from the SanDisk Media card, turn off your gadget and take the card out. Replace it with a different media card, and put the original card in a safe, dry place for retrieval later. If you continue to use your gadget with the corrupted SanDisk Media card, you are risking complete data loss, and you will have a very low chance of retrieving back your photos.

Check your SanDisk Media card for further damage. If you notice some dirt and dust, it may help to clean your card with a soft lens cleaner.

When you are able to, connect your media card to the computer. Your computer may not recognize it, so if this happens, try it on another computer, until a computer is able to recognize this removable device. When you finally are able to connect it to a computer, we can start using a software solution that will help retrieve lost photos. Our guide will help you retrieve photos using the Photo Retrieval 1.70 for Mac or PC, but you can also use other software programs such as Disk Doctors for Mac or PC as well.

You can easily download the software program and install it into your computer. There are simple steps to follow. After you have finished installing the program on your computer, make sure that your card is well connected before you continue. You can then run the software program and several questions will be asked. Select the media card to be scanned by the software, sometimes it will say 'removable storage device'.

The Photo Retrieval 1.70 software program will scan the drive for image files. You will then be able to see previews of images that were found. You can then select the files you want to save. Make sure that you save the retrieved files in a safe place in your computer, so that you avoid problems of photo loss in the future.
