  Hard drive from space shuttle Columbia salvaged with data intact Posted by: admin in Life Gadgets This is insane. The hard drive crashed to earth with the rest of the wreckage, and at first they couldn’t even tell it was a drive at all.

The hard drive crashed to earth with the rest of the wreckage, and at first they couldn’t even tell it was a drive at all. Data recovery expert Jon Edwards took a shot at it and due to a combination of technical skill and luck, he was able to recover the data on the drive, which was information on an experiment written up here. I say luck because whatever was writing to the hard drive happened to be running DOS of all things, which applies the data to the drive in a very straightforward way. It’s unnerving that after such a trauma they were able to recover all the data, but it’s also reassuring. With all my hard drives, I live in constant fear of fire or flood (well, not flood here on the second floor, but you know what I mean). It’s good to know there are experts who can fix a drive that’s fallen from 39 miles up at 12,000mph. Too bad it doesn’t mention what brand of HDD it is.

  ［HDD salvaged from space shuttle Columbia］ ハードディスクドライブといえばこわれやすいものの代名詞だ。 それがなんと、コロンビア号の事故にあった HDD からデータを回収できたというのだ。 →［CrunchGear | Hard drive from space shuttle Columbia salvaged with data intact］ 　　　　　＊　　　　　＊　　　　　＊ コイツはただ事じゃない。このハードドライブは地上に激突してこなごなになった残骸の中にあったのだ。姿形さえ留めないほどだった。そこでデータ回収のプロ Jon Edwards の登場だ。様々な技術を駆使、それにツキもあった。なんとドライブ上のデータが回収できたのだ。内容は宇宙での実験結果だったという。 This is insane. The hard drive crashed to earth with the rest of the wreckage, and at first they couldn’t even tell it was a drive at all. Data recovery expert Jon Edwards took a shot at it and due to a combination of technical skill and luck, he was able to recover the data on the drive, which was information on an experiment written up here. 運がよかったといったのは、HDD へデータの書き込み方式がこともあろうに DOS だったらしい。とても単純な方式だったというわけ。あれほど過酷な事故のあとで全データが回収できたなんて大変なオドロキだ。それになんとも心強い話ではないか。いつも自分の HDD が火事や洪水でダメになるのではないかと恐れている。（ここは２階だから洪水はありえないけど、いってる意味は分るだろ・・・）　３９マイルの上空から時速１万２千キロで落下してきた HDD を修理できるプロがいたなんてスゴいじゃないか！ I say luck because whatever was writing to the hard drive happened to be running DOS of all things, which applies the data to the drive in a very straightforward way. It’s unnerving that after such a trauma they were able to recover all the data, but it’s also reassuring. With all my hard drives, I live in constant fear of fire or flood (well, not flood here on the second floor, but you know what I mean). It’s good to know there are experts who can fix a drive that’s fallen from 39 miles up at 12,000mph. 折角なら HDD メーカーの名前も教えてくれればよかったのに！ Too bad it doesn’t mention what brand of HDD it is.
