iPhone Data
Recovery-The Next Generation
It would be hard to believe that every technology fan on the planet hadn't already heard the news, that Apple Computer introduced its new 3GS series of iPhones last month. Here at DriveSavers, we're celebrating the introduction of Apple's new iPhones and reflecting on our past successes.
As many of our partners are aware, DriveSavers was the first company to recover iPhone data, and the jobs we've received have been challenging to say the least. Nearly every iPhone we've worked on suffered some kind of physical damage. Some ended up being waterlogged when they were dropped in lakes, ponds and toilets. Others met their fate as they literally "hit the pavement".
To date, our most spectacular save was the iPhone that was intentionally dropped 26 stories down a garbage chute in a New York City apartment building, by an angry wife. With the odds stacked against us, we completed a full recovery of the critical data - in this case, they were photos needed by the disgruntled woman's spouse.
Today, DriveSavers is celebrating its continued success recovering data using a myriad of new techniques we've developed along the way, streamlining the process with increased capabilities, recovering not only the most common kinds of important data: photos, notes and contacts, but even deleted text messages!
Mike Cobb, Director of Mac and UNIX Engineering summed things up, "When it comes to iPhone data recovery, our capabilities are unmatched."

TechTalk-What
Makes a Cleanroom Clean?
You've heard the term "cleanroom" used by DriveSavers, so you probably have a pretty good idea
of what one is. But, do you know what makes a cleanroom clean?
A cleanroom is a static-controlled, dust-free environment where engineers wear special suits, masks and gloves to avoid contamination by airborne particles, chemical vapors and more. They are typically used in manufacturing and scientific research.
Air inside a cleanroom is circulated through industrial grade HEPA filters built into the walls or workbenches. The air is constantly recirculated and re-filtered to reduce contaminants, which are measured using a highly sophisticated particle counter.
The International Standards Organization (ISO) created rigid standards for cleanroom cleanliness. Cleanroom particles are noted in microns - millionths of a meter. The ISO 5 (formerly Class 100) cleanroom standard allows for up to 100,000 particles measuring just 0.1 microns in size per cubic meter of air.
Last year DriveSavers unveiled its $2 million cleanroom, used to prevent the contamination of hard drives by airborne debris when they are opened for data recovery. With over 2,000 square feet of working area, the ultra-modern cleanroom environment features an ISO 5 cleanroom and three separate mixed flow "Clean Zones". Each static-free zone is dedicated to a specific data recovery task.
DriveSavers is the only data recovery company in the world with an ISO 5 cleanroom that has been audited and certified to meet ISO 14664-1 standards. Click here to see photos of our cleanroom and read more about our certifications.
