[citation][nom]tpi2007[/nom]I wonder what will happen to this and other companies' business model when in a few years SSD's start becoming the norm.Which brings another question and article suggestion: how do you do recovery of a water submerged SSD ? Sure, there are no platters, so the only thing to care might be rust on the pcb's, contacts, etc. Is it so ? Or is there more to it ?Some people who are considering buying SSD's for certain tasks might like to know if such companies already do this kind of stuff. I visited DriveSavers and they don't refer to it explicitly. They do recover from usb flash drives or memory cards. So they should be able, right ? Or not right ?[/citation]
I've read occasionally that SSD's or Hybrid SSD's (half traditional drive, half SSD as a type of cache) are considerably more difficult to recover data from, if not outright impossible in many of the situations that a traditional HDD could be saved from.
USB sticks, on the other hand are usually(relatively) easy to repair - a little harder than a normal HDD, but far easier than an SSD as long as the main data chip(s) is intact.
