  2. Data erasure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_erasure

    Disk overwriting programs that cannot access the entire hard drive, including hidden/locked areas like the host protected area (HPA), device configuration overlay (DCO), and remapped sectors, perform an incomplete erasure, leaving some of the data intact. By accessing the entire hard drive, data erasure eliminates the risk of data remanence.

  5. Data recovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_recovery

    When a hard disk drive fails, the importance of getting the data off the drive is the top priority. The longer a faulty drive is used, the more likely further data loss is to occur. Creating an image of the drive will ensure that there is a secondary copy of the data on another device, on which it is safe to perform testing and recovery ...

  7. Quantum Bigfoot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_Bigfoot

    This form factor allowed Quantum to increase the capacity of their hard drives without an increase in data density, thus lowering costs compared to a 3.5-inch drive with the same capacity. It also allowed manufacturers and owners to install the hard drive above or below the optical drive in the computer, as the typical computer had multiple 5. ...

  8. Data remanence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_remanence

    Data remanence is the residual representation of digital data that remains even after attempts have been made to remove or erase the data. This residue may result from data being left intact by a nominal file deletion operation, by reformatting of storage media that does not remove data previously written to the media, or through physical properties of the storage media that allow previously ...

  9. Disk cloning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_cloning

    Figure 1: An illustration of connecting two drives to a computer to clone one drive (the source drive) to another (the destination) drive. Disk cloning occurs by copying the contents of a drive called the source drive. While called "disk cloning", any type of storage medium that connects to the computer via USB, NVMe or SATA can be cloned. A ...
