Hard Disk - Hard Drive
This is your computers main storage device, this is where you would normally keep your programs and files. These devices contain platters (disk like objects) that rotate at speeds of 5400 rpm and above, there is a device called an actuator that can be likened to an arm which moves across the platters and reads or writes the information through the use of READ/WRITE heads. the gap between the READ/WRITE heads and the platter is typically a lot less than the thickness of a human hair. The platters are made from an aluminium substance, these devices are a lot more reliable now than they used to be, although they can break down mechanically if you drop them !!!!.

New microsoft Windows Vista Is your hardware up to scratch? pretty pictures pretty pictures pretty pictures Vista is famous--or, perhaps more accurately, infamous--for its hefty hardware requirements. Certainly, minimum system requirements are more demanding than for any previous Windows operating system. In reality, there are two separate sets of hardware requirements: one for machines that are merely "Vista Capable" and another for those that are "Vista Premium Ready." Whereas "Premium Ready" requires a 1GHz processor, one gigabyte of RAM and a high-end video card, requirements for "Capable" are a bit more easily (and inexpensively) attainable. It's important to remember that, although the eye candy afforded by Aero Glass is very cool, it's probably not really necessary for most business applications. Before you start making plans to upgrade all your organization's workstations to Vista, you should check out the exact system requirements and really consider if you need to just spend money to keep up with the jones Things get slightly more complicated with Vista. Now there are five editions: Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, Enterprise and Ultimate. Although you probably won't want to use the Home editions on a company network, you may be less certain whether to choose Business, Enterprise or Ultimate. Business Edition is roughly comparable to XP Pro, whereas Enterprise Edition includes extra features such as BitLocker Drive Encryption (an added layer of security for corporate laptops), application compatibility tools, SUA (Subsystem for Unix-based applications) and advanced multilanguage support. Ultimate is a superset, with all the features of all editions (including Media Center), which may be more than you need for your business PCs. |
Data Recovery
Data recovery is the process of salvaging data from an inaccessible disk media, whether the cause is an untimely hardware failure or an application related software failure. Our Data Recovery Process is gauranteed to recover the maximaum data recoverable. Because of the sensitivity of data, we only perform data recovery in secure laboratory conditions under strict access control, with the entire process carried out by senior data recovery engineers experienced in both hardware and software data recovery techniques.
Through years of experience, we know that sometimes there is only a limited chance to recover data from some storage media. This could be because the media is suffering a terminal hardware failure or that this is the only copy of your data. For these reason we only perform data recovery on a duplicate copy of the original. This is known as the Mirror image. We never have to access the original storage media again.
