I was asked to try Disk Drill 6 beta, in particular I was asked to comment on the new Action Camera Module that was specifically designed to recover video data from GoPro, DJI action cameras, but also for example ‘normal’ Sony cameras.

Common perception is that recovery of photos and video from a in camera formatted memory card is a matter of running a file recovery or photo recovery tool. Many makers of this type of software also give the impression it is this simple (Easeus, Stellar, RecoverIt, all the usual suspects). However many Sony camera owners… Read More »
Different flash operations (read / write / erase) have different power requirements. This is probably due to fact that an erase operation requires 4 times the voltage, about 20v, than what a read operation requires, about 5v. So idea is that power consumption gives clues about what a flash drive is doing. I am assuming the… Read More »

As a consequence I can predict with reasonable certainty the chances of successful data recovery after you formatted your NTFS drive. Because I understand what such a… Read More »

Just FWIW. I have been experimenting with imaging flash. Using R-Studio, ReclaiMe Pro and UFS Explorer, the ones that I… Read More »
Seems that many articles about ‘broken SD cards’ refer to software solutions. If a SD card is truly physically broken no software will be able to help. Suggestions to format the card, use DiskPart, run chkdsk are just bullshit (pardon my French). Broken SD Card Micro SD cards If we talk about the standard form… Read More »
