DriveSavers Equipped to Recover Data From Apple Fusion Drive

DriveSavers Data Recovery, in
data recovery services, now offers data recovery services
for Apple, Inc.‘s new Fusion Drive.

In October, Apple unveiled the Fusion Drive as a new storage option for Mac
mini and iMac computers, along with Macs running MacOS 10.8.2 to combine the
performance of SSDs with the higher capacity of a hard drive. DriveSavers
engineers tested the drive and developed new proprietary methods and techniques
to recover data specifically for the new hybrid storage solution should an
unthinkable failure occur.

"Recovering
data from the Fusion Drive is not for the weak at heart," said Chris
Bross, strategic technology alliance manager. "It’s a complex storage solution that combines two completely different
technologies to give Apple customers more speed with higher capacity. Our years
of experience working with Apple products, flash technology and leading storage
manufacturers gives us the edge to innovate and quickly overcome the data
recovery challenges associated with the Fusion Drive."

DriveSavers engineers dissected the Fusion
Drive to understand the mechanics and technology behind the hybrid solution. It consists of two separate drives-one HDD and one
SSD that are ‘fused’ together. If one drive fails, the
data on both drives is lost. But not forever, DriveSavers built a test
environment and was able to prove that data may be recovered from a failed
Fusion Drive.

"We
couldn’t wait to get our hands on the Fusion Drive," said Mike Cobb,
director of engineering at DriveSavers Data Recovery. "The integration of solid-state technology
with a hard drive is a new approach to storing data at the consumer level so we
were excited to see how it worked. The Fusion Drive is complicated but we can
successfully recover data from it quickly in our certified secure environment."
