Data Recovery - Xyon Systems

Sunday, November 11th, 2007

So far all my HDDs are still intact, but the saying about HDD is still true, ‘Its not ‘IF’ but ‘WHEN’ the hard disk will fail’.

Sooner or later, the mechanical parts will fail through wear and tear, too much heat, etc. Like other electronic equipment, you should be aware of its life expectancy. For HDD, I read that its around 3-5yrs or earlier.

Last September, I found out about Xyon Systems and Services through a business meeting. I haven’t tried their services yet, but I know some photographers who are satisfied with Christopher’s work. You can check their website here.

Hmm.  I think I should google some of the best practices in backing up data and put them into practice.  When backup fails (and they eventually will), only experts like Xyon Systems can help you recover your data and those precious, precious photos.

Be blessed,
