    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.
  • @cferracini
    This just made me want to have a backup for my backup and maybe a backup for that backup
  • @tucker8676
    Ironically they lost some of the footage of them learning to recover data
  • @thobiex
    Linus: So yarek, where did you learn to do all this? Yarek: I waz KGB.

    Video title: "Don't Waste $1000 on Data Recovery" In the video: "This is the Rapidspar. It costs around $2000."

    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!
  • @cam_machi
    13:44 whoever at that office bought that HHKB to just be there. Props to you dude.
  • Linus: Tells to be careful because of physical problem Also Linus: Instantly lifts the drive before it has time to stop spinning
  • @milesharrison
    5:15 - That panic as Linus just scratches the metal of one drive across the PCB of the other... "Yeah, they look(ed) perfect."
  • @quietusplus1221
    This is some REALLY impressive engineering. Automating all this stuff in a package for that amount of money.
  • @davidg7136

  • @coweatsman
    The 3 "B"s of computing. Backup, backup and backup.
  • @AbrarShaikh2741
    Linus: Yarek, you ready? Yarek: I am waiting here since a decade and you are not ready to come in.
