Wrecked hard disk drive from a car crash
February 13th, 2008
This is an example of a case when we cannot recover data. The platters (containing data) on this Toshiba notebook drive are made of glass, one of them was shattered on impact. Also the aluminium case of the drive was bent. It is actually possible (but very difficult) to extract fragments of files from the platter left intact.
