Linus - Because of this video. I was able to recover my data removing the configuration chip from my old HDD and placing it onto a new main board. I got back pictures from when my daughter was first born. I cant tell you how much I appreciate your videos. Cheers!

"dont waste $1000 on data recovery!" proceeds to show the most common drive malfunction type in the first two minutes and tells us to go to an $1000 professional
-
"How to save money in data recovery..." Buying two drives instead of one in the first place.

This just made me want to have a backup for my backup and maybe a backup for that backup

Ironically they lost some of the footage of them learning to recover data

I love videos like this! Basically, the best Hard drive or SSD you can get is anything x2, and keep copies of the same data on another drive.

I would like to thank you for shearing info about HDD recovery, especially for this trick with automount function and RStudio. It helped me a lot while trying to recover old 1TB HDD from my parents with literately all the photos from 2004 till now. U rock!

Dude! I love this channel. I love tech. Another great video! I cant get enough of Linus Tech Tips!

Linus: Tells to be careful because of physical problem Also Linus: Instantly lifts the drive before it has time to stop spinning
-
5:15 - That panic as Linus just scratches the metal of one drive across the PCB of the other... "Yeah, they look(ed) perfect."
-
13:44 whoever at that office bought that HHKB to just be there. Props to you dude.

If you have really important files to keep safe, I recommend buying 2 external hard drives from two different companies so they won’t eventually die around the same time and save the exact new things you create daily on both drives at the end of each day. If any of the external drive dies, buy a new drive, copy over everything from the other external drive and continue saving onto both drives. Eventually both drives will become full. Then buy more external drives. It goes without saying to always plug all your electronics into surge protected outlet strips.
-
That guy in the background during in the intro is waiting for Linus to shut up so he can get back to work.
-
TestDisk is a pretty amazing program for if you have a few bad sectors or if you accidentally formatted a drive
-
This is some REALLY impressive engineering. Automating all this stuff in a package for that amount of money.
-
Best teaching episode ever. I have some bad hard drives and now I know what is their problem. Please keep it up.
