External hard drive maker Freecom has revealed that almost half of all hard drive crashes are caused by hardware failure.

While launching a new, low-cost data recovery service, Freecom said its internal estimates suggest manufacturing flaws and age together account for 49 per cent of all hard drive failures.

By contrast, human error - moving the drive when then heads are flying, dropping laptops and suchlike - only account for 28 per cent of cases.


Moving down this chart of hardware horror, we have software failure causing 14 per cent of hard drive failures. Malware is responsible for eight per cent of incidents. Natural disasters account for the remaining cases - one per cent of failures.

Freecom's solution, it said, its is off-the-shelf eponymous Data Recovery Service. Buy the package from any retailer for £24.95 and a nominated drive - external or one within a PC, of any brand, type or manufacturer - is covered for three years from the date on which the drive is registered with Freecom.

The service extends to only one incidence of drive failure - whatever the reason for it - so you will have re-insure replacement drives.

The package - described by Freecom as an insurance policy for data - covers sending the damaged drive, which be kept within its host computer; you don't have to remove it - getting the data off, and the return of the recovered information on a brand new Freecom external drive.

The old drive is destroyed and sent off for recycling. Freecom's data-recovery partner, LazaRus, will retain the recovered data, but only for 15 days in case the files being returned are lost in transit. ®

Zanimljivo, samo ne vidim kako im je to isplativo. Npr. registrujes hdd koji je vec crko i oni ce ti kao izvuci sve podatke i vratiti zamenski hdd nazad? Sem ako proces registracije hdda zahteva da im prvo posaljes hdd, ili vazi samo za nove hddove.
Sta u slucaju da na hddu nadju nedozvoljeni materijal? Predaju slucaj sudu? Kapiram da ce ovo retko koristiti ljudi da zastite kolekciju filmova, ali sta ako?
Inace mislim da je jeftino, bar imas neku sigurnost ako su ti podaci iole bitni a nemas kintu za dodatni hdd/hddove. Za neku ozbiljniju upotrebu nema smisla: dok im ti posaljes hdd, dok oni tebi vrate, a posao ti zavisi od tih podataka... Jeftinije je da kupis jos nekoliko diskova i radis backup.

Ova firma LazaRus ne deluje neozbiljno... freecom takodje nije neozbiljan... u civilizaciji bi ih tuzili da tako nesto urade... osim toga tako i osiguravajuce kuce funkcionisu...

Nek u te 3 godine crkne 10% diskova... znaci na svakih 300e imace 1 disk koji crkne. Za taj disk ce freecom da plati recovery LazaRus-u koji nek kosta 200e i dace jedan novi disk koji kosta u proseku 50e... znaci imaju 5e sigurne zarade po disku...

da ali sta sa onim koji ne moze da se spase?

 

[danijel00]

pa verovatno pise negde sitnim slovima...

no i ovi su vrlo skromni:

ma to bi bilo idealno, Seagate kad je kupio Action front mislio sam da ce da nude spasavanje podataka u ceni diska. Ipak je freecom mala firma. Ovo nece zaziveti.
