SpinRite
I really miss the super-obvious read-read-read-read-read, map bad sectors and move data to good sectors process. With modern data recovery software, I can't always tell what it's doing (with mechanical drives).
-- Okay so after looking up Spinrite on Wikipedia, I'm confused. I thought it was long discontinued. It was last updated in 2014 but Steve Gibson still has it as a current product.
Either way, I'm skeptical it'll recreate the recovery experience of my MFM days.
- rekabis 4y agoSpin rite is only designed to work with spinning-rust drives. SSDs, with their wear-levelling tech, prevents SpinRite from working correctly. And unless you are dealing with large-volume, cool storage, or cold storage, who TF uses spinning-rust drives anymore?
