Run a pc recycle & reuse pcs for businesses

Hi, I run a pc recycle & reuse pcs for businesses, and resell ’em. In cases where I receive SAS drives, including servers, I am unable to data wipe the sas drives, for I don’t have servers (w/SAS intereface) set up with Windows. I data wipe my SATA drives in Windows 10, or Windows 7. But I lose the capacity, e.g., server workstation with sas interface, to read SAS drives w/out setting up a Dell Server (which I don’t want to do). So my question is:
A) Can the Sata to SAS adapter interface work without the Data Recovery Tool, to be read in Windows 10 or 7 (on a pc workstation)? B) Secondly, if so (can it be read), can I do the DATA wiping, without corrupting the sectors, once wiped? C) If the DATA recovery tool is needed to both read & recover (with the adapter in an effort to data wipe), can data wipe be done in Windows 10/7?

I never offered data recovery before, because of the investment in time and money, but will consider it. I am more interested in data wiping, since once I received hardware (e.g., Servers, PCS, Workstations), I consequently have to address & guarantee data privacy and security associated with the hard drives (SAS or otherwise) in order to salvage the drives. Thanks

NVME SSD Data Recovery in Spain

“My name is David, and I take part of the technical data recovery area of an IT company located in Madrid.

As our main focus is set on hard drives, hybrid SSHD, SSD, flash… lately we´ve seen the Nvme drives presence in Spanish market is growing bigger.

As we saw your announcement DFL URE Plus-NVme Data Recovery Equipment – Dolphin Data Lab, I´d like to ask about price, remote support, brands and models supported. On the other hand when do you plan to launch the Nvme firmware feature? We´ve read “NVME SSDs, firmware repair is not available right now but will be available as one premium software addon, users can buy NVme SSD firmware repair module when available.” in your webpage.

Thanks in advance!”

Above is one new client from Spain asking for NVME SSD data recovery tools from Dolphin Data Lab. DFL URE Plus-NVme Data Recovery Equipment is now used for bad sector disk imaging, file extraction for NVME SSDs, for firmware repair, Dolphin R&D center is still working on it and will release the firmware repair module in the near future.

WD SMR HDD Module 190 Auto Repair Solution

,

Dolphin Data Lab has released the latest WD SMR HDD Module 190 Auto Repair Solution within the DFL-DDP data recovery tool.

According to the feedback of Dolphin users and data recovery engineers worldwide, Western Digital hard drive data recovery cases are mostly associated with the dynamic secondary translator-module 190.

Module 190 corruption can be caused by unstable faulty hard drive status: many bad sectors, weak heads, wrong operations by users, etc.

Whenever users get one WD SMR HDD data recovery case, users need to diagnose the patient hdd correctly to find out if it is firmware issue or physical issue, if physical issue, users need to swap heads first or take other measures to fix the physical issue and then users need to manage to remove the MCU lock.

After removing the MCU lock, users need to follow Dolphin special WD SMR hdd recovery instructions to backup the module 190 (even if the module 190 has many read errors, users need to be patient with module reading) and sometimes, users can select to read valid data only from the module 190 and this can avoid many read errors but this may cause some data loss sometimes.

After the module 190 backup, users need to diagnose the module 190 and try to repair the module 190 corruption. Dolphin Data Lab has released one auto repair solution for the corrupted module 190. Users can check the video demo here to find out how the module 190 auto repair works:

Above new WD SMR hdd firmware repair solution helps users a lot to enhance the efficiency and success rate. Users can download it from the Dolphin user-only forum.
