Encryption – External Hard Drive Data Recovery
Caution
**External casing will be required when you send
in the failed hard drive**
There has been a rise in the use of encryption
for security in the new external hard drive caddies.
A few things
to consider:
Some storage units are coming with built in
encryption so that your data is protected for you without any effort on your
part….. these storage units that are not built for any movement.
1)Physical failure -If the media used to store the
encrypt data fails not just a physical clicking or beeping failure but as
simple as the drive picking up read errors you will have major problems getting
your encypted data to decrypt.
2) Logical Failure – The media may have failed with
I/O or read errors but in order to read this data the external case needs to be
sent in with the hard drive in order for the technician to read the recovered
data from the drive.
** Remember The brilliant thing about encryption
codes is that every bit of the code must be present and thus if all hardware is
working to 100% is the safety factor for your data. If the hardware has even
the slightest bleep (- not to mention a laptop while in use taking a direct hit
on the top by an elbow ) you may lose the access to your data.
The point I intended to make here was know your
device and make sure that there is a back up of your data in its original form
or access to its original form that is held outside that encrypted copy.
**When the drive fails the external casing is
required to come in with the drive
