Encrypted data storage devices are extremely common
for businesses, government and individuals storing
highly confidential or personal information on them.
To understand and overcome the challenges of
recovering data from encrypted drives, DriveSavers
engineers have worked in partnership with all leading
encryption software manufacturers and have been
trained and certified by government-approved vendors
to recover file and disk-level encrypted data safely
and successfully.
As a result, government agencies with encrypted systems regularly rely on DriveSavers to recover their lost data. Recently, a US Army employee almost lost all his confidential data. His laptop over heated and began clicking, a symptom of electro-mechanical component failure. To complicate matters, the drive was encrypted.
To recover the data, the mechanical components in the 2.5" hard drive first needed to be rebuilt by engineers in our Class 100 cleanroom. Once the mechanical repairs were completed, a file system engineer-certified in encryption data recovery protocol-successfully created a sector-by-sector image of the data on the drive.
"I can't say enough about the professionalism that was exhibited throughout EVERY step of the recovery process," remarked the owner.
In special cases, data is so sensitive that we return the sector image back to the customer fully encrypted. The customer can then enter the decryption key to verify the recovered data in their own protected environment.
Certain customers and data loss situations require extra security procedures. DriveSavers provides customized data recovery solutions that meet the most stringent data security requirements, including the successful recovery of data from encrypted drives.

Open Road Podcast: Episode #025 (Lexus IS-F)
24 March 2008 01:33 Filed in: Podcast
Episode #025, Lexus IS-F, Part 1
After a lengthy hiatus, Mr, Black, Mr. White, and Mr. Blonde are back with Open Road Podcast. The following series of podcasts cover the Lexus IS-F, the BMW M3, and BMW 1-series. Well, then there's an addendum about the Cooper Clubman and the not so Smart car. We'll start with IS-F, the first performance car ever from the notoriously conservative Lexus brand. And for its intended purpose, it's a strong player.
In this episode, the boys discuss the BMW M3, which is a technological tour de force.
Next, the 1-series, with special emphasis on the 135, which is probably the best performance bargain out of Germany. According to Mr. Black, it's also a highly successful evolution of BMW's current design ethos.
And finally, what some might call an afterbirth, a bit of commentary on the MINI Clubman. That leads to a short bit on the Smart car which, amazingly, gets fewer miles from a gallon of gas than the much larger Cooper. Hmmmmmm.
