Most of data loss is due to system and hardware problems… Data loss is painful and all too common. Why? Because your file system stinks. Microsoft’s NTFS (used in XP & Vista) with its de facto monopoly is the worst offender. But Apple and Linux aren’t any better.

August 8, 2007 – Kingston Technology Company, Inc. today announced it is expanding its line of Secure Digital™ High-Capacity (SDHC) memory cards with the introduction of a 4GB miniSDHC card, available in Class 2, 4 and 6 speed ratings. The higher capacity and faster speeds offered by Kingston® miniSDHC cards make them ideal for supporting new, smaller-profile multifunction phones and digital devices able to take advantage of the advanced expansion memory platform.

betanews.com - Last November, we reported on Fujitsu’s efforts to overcome a curious problem with the physics of hard disk drives: storing magnetic data at densities that are smaller than the grains of the underlying ferromagnetic medium should physically allow. The company’s solution involved a combination of lasers to locate precise locations on the drive, and also to pre-heat data spots to make them more conducive to holding data at precise locations.

A genetically engineered microbial protein could mean better data storage.
By Amitabh Avasthi
By using lasers to etch data onto microbial proteins, researchers at the University of Connecticut may have demonstrated a way to produce rewritable holographic memory. Holographic memory stores data in three dimensions instead of two and could make data retrieval hundreds of times faster. The first holographic-memory systems have recently come to market, but they do not yet feature discs rewritable in real time.

Nearly two years after they were expected to announce a Microsoft Office killer, Sun Microsystems and Google may finally be planning to do it. Or not.
Following much hype about a partnership in October 2005, Sun and Google held an anticlimactic news conference in which all they announced was that they were collaborating on work on Sun’s OpenOffice.org, Java and OpenSolaris and Google’s Toolbar.

Scientists have discovered that “avalanche” effects in spinning magnetic fields can cause data loss in disk drives - and are working on changes to recording layer chemistry that should give us more reliable storage.

When it comes to data recovery there are a lot of myths out there. People are recommending Scandisk or some 10 year old DOS utility as the most sophisticated data recovery tools.
When turning to a discussion group for help after a system crash, you often get to hear: “Just recover from your back-up - you have one, don’t you?” Now - that’s helpful!
Be assured, most of what you hear about data recovery is not true. Read on… at About data recovery
Can’t boot up? Sometimes, it may be due to a boot sector virus.

MUNICH, Germany-July 18, 2007-Renowned fine art photographer Andreas Gursky relies on technology from hard drive manufacturer Seagate Technology (NYSE:STX) to store his images. Gursky takes hundreds of exposures to piece together a single image, eliminating distracting details and adding parts to form a new world; a world that needs vast amounts of digital storage to exist.
