Data recovery and disk repair questions and discussions related to old-fashioned SATA, SAS, SCSI, IDE, MFM hard drives - any type of storage device that has moving parts

Every week -- almost without fail - we receive hard drives that have been opened by their owners; a friend, or a "repair person." It's a really bad idea that places your data at risk. I explain why (with photos):

Almost everyday I receive an opened drive.
Opened by customer, by IT, by cowboy guy, by customer's neighbor....etc.

Nice article Jon. I've been meaning to do a similar article on my site too, this will motivate me to actually do it.

I can send you the article in .docx format and you can customize it if you like with your own co. info.
We need to get the word out.

Absolutely we do, the problem I find is that by the time people read such an article they've already been down the Youtube DIY road and stripped the T6s with a Philips and covered the top platter with yesterday's breakfast.
I've got a small list of little articles already (
