Recovery Labs analiza el mercado de recuperación de datos en Alemania, tras cuatro años de presencia en el país germano. Las averías en los cabezales y las bobinas son la principal causa en la pérdida de datos tanto en Alemania como en España y crece de forma constante.
La demanda de recuperación de datos de discos duros externos se incrementará en España el año que viene en al menos 6 puntos, según prevé Recovery Labs compañía líder en recuperación de datos, borrado seguro y peritaje informático. Esta es la conclusión a la que se llega tras comparar la evolución del mercado español con el alemán después de analizar el mercado de recuperación de datos y las averías más frecuentes en el país germano.
Si el año pasado se percibió en España un incremento en la demanda de recuperación en discos duros de 2,5’’ (ordenadores portátiles) siguiendo los pasos de Alemania, causado probablemente por el crecimiento de las ventas de ordenadores portátiles, este año Recovery Labs advierte que la tendencia se aplica al mercado de los discos duros externos.
La demanda en la recuperación de datos de este tipo de dispositivos se ha triplicado en Alemania con respecto al año anterior (con un incremento de más de 16 puntos porcentuales) y, aunque en España su crecimiento ha sido menor, es de esperar que siga esta tendencia durante el año 2009. De hecho, en nuestro país la demanda de recuperación de datos en discos duros externos ha sido de un 14,07% durante 2008.
Y es que la tendencia del mercado global de soportes de almacenamiento está cambiando y los portátiles y los discos duros externos comienzan a tener más presencia en la industria del almacenamiento. La movilidad que ofrecen o sus precios cada vez más competitivos pueden ser las causas de este incremento en sus ventas y, por consiguiente, de las propias averías que causan pérdidas de información.
Averías más frecuentes
Siguiendo con la comparación de ambos mercados, observamos que coinciden en la primera causa de pérdida de datos, ya que tanto en Alemania (26,09%) como en España (23,24%), las averías en los cabezales y las bobinas son las más frecuentes. Provocadas generalmente por golpes y caídas de los discos duros, estas averías van ganando terreno a otras como las electrónicas o las producidas por descompensación térmica o por fallos de estructura.
Desde que comenzó su expansión internacional en 2004, Recovery Labs ha ido analizando anualmente los mercados en los que está presente: Francia, Alemania, Suiza, Austria, Italia y Portugal. El alemán, que ocupa un 5,34% del total de la demanda de la compañía, es precisamente uno de los mercados más maduros y competitivos del sector y desde hace unos años, las tendencias observadas en el país germano se están viendo reflejadas en el mercado español.
Para Juan Martos, Director de Laboratorio de Recovery Labs: “Después de cuatro años de continua expansión internacional, tenemos la capacidad de analizar las tendencias del sector, como el aumento de la demanda de recuperación de datos de ordenadores portátiles y ahora, la de discos duros externos”. “Además, con el aumento exponencial de datos en soporte electrónico, estos discos duros externos suponen una ayuda para liberar espacio en los ordenadores, tanto de sobremesa como portátiles”, concluye Martos.
We need to find some tools to save the cost and time spent with traditional recovery methods, the following tools can be really good solution:
The product, Data Compass (hereafter is referred to as DC) mainly has the following advantages compared with other logical data recovery products:
1. DC can access and scan the patient drive which has been no longer detected by the computer because of severe bad sector problem.
2. DC can read data from bad sectors, which can’t be done by traditional data recovery software.
3. DC adopts physical write blocker and ShadowDisk technology to make sure no change or damage will be occur to the patient drive; this is very important and is an advantage especially for customers who works in data recovery companies (they can promise their customers that even if we can’t recover your data, we will return the drive to you in its original status).
4. DC is a hardware-software complex product, which allows users to conduct many low-level operations towards the patient hard drive when doing data recovery, therefore to increase the depth and success rate of data recovery.
DC mainly has the following advantages compared with other disk imaging products:
1. DC adopts “SA Analog” technology. Aiming at those drives which have media defects in the SA, which is being undetected in the BIOS (so far no tool in the world can fix this kind of problem), Data Compass bypasses the SA boot failure, and then by reading only the key modules such as P-List from the SA to access the user data area directly for data recovery. For professional data recovery companies, they will need to deal with patient drives with not only defects in the user data area, but also in the system area of the drive; dealing with defects in the system area needs expertise and experience plus special equipments and tools, while many of them still can’t be fixed. By using DC, these defects will be “bypassed”, so that even a newbie can be able to work better than an expert.
2. Before DC was released, Disk Image was a very important phase in data recovery, especially when the drive is in an unstable status; all the data will be imaged from the patient drive to another functional drive by disk imaging tools, and then data recovery will be performed on the functional imaged drive. This traditional procedure has an obvious disadvantage: you need to wait until the disk image finish to recover your data, even what you need is only a few files from the patient drive, you will still need to perform a whole disk image, and the time cost for a disk image will be hours or even days depends on the capacity and the drive status (the more bad sectors it has, the slower the image will be). Now, thanks to DC, data recovery professionals need not to prepare an image for the patient drive before data recovery happens; Pioneered Disk Image Technique – ShadowDisk, which images the sector physically from the defective drive to a functioning drive at the same time when the sector is being requested. So that each sector being requested will first be imaged to a good drive, and then the read/write request will be directed to the image disk. You don’t need to spend lots of time to create an image, but actually you are working on an image when using DC with the patient drive.
3. DC hardware part connects to your computer via USB cable, which enables you to work data recovery from even a laptop, no special socket required. DC software part runs on Windows XP and Vista, with a standard Windows GUI, everyone who uses Windows OS can handle this software easily following the user manual.
4. DC adopts pioneered read algorithm, different experiments have indicated that DC reads the hard drive with bad sector problem at least 3 times faster than any other similar products.
5. DC hardware is compatible with any of the logical data recovery software. That means besides the logical data recovery software provided originally, you can use any other data recovery software of your own to perform file retrieval. By connecting the patient drive which can’t be “seen” by the computer to DC, it will become visible again as an external USB hard drive, and then you can use any software to access this drive for file retrieval. This is very important especially when one customer has been very familiar and skilful with one software, he won’t try other software easily.

1: Extract, Analyze and Validate the Data on a Working Hard Disk Drive.
2: Fully and Effectively Recover Data from Unstable and Bad Sectors Defective Hard Disk Drive
a, superb ‘Bad Sector Leap Function’ and ‘Dynamic Balanced Enhanced Reading Technology’ help the users obtain 30% more data than the other image tools.
b, The new technology of ‘ShadowDisk’ has been developed and introduced in Data Compass after a few years hard research. This technology minimizes the reading times towards the source drive and protect the further damage to the source drive.
c, hard disk drive Bitmap can be also be analyzed by the Data Compass
d, DC has built-in ‘SWPS Technology’ is used to maintain the original copy and avoids the affection by virus and Trojan which can block the accessing command beyond this rule via base monitoring to prevent all the accidental damage. Finally, it ensures the 100% intactness of the data on the source HDD when doing data recovery.This is another leading technology developed by SalvationDATA which satisfy the requirement of forensic investigation procedure where the 100% original data is compulsory.
3: Access and analyze data from unrecognized hard disk drives.
SA Emulation Technology enables to access the data quickly and effectively from a hard disk drive which cannot be recognized. It allows the hard disk drive to be started up by Data Compass independent on the native firmware copy and access the use data area directly. Currently this technology has been integrated to IBM/Hitachi brand and will soon integrate with other brands of hdd.
Plus 1: Recover data at any time, any place, and any environment from any manufacturer of hard disk drives.
