Hi

I want to lunch my data recovery laboratory project, I want to know what are the physical conditions like temperature, atmosphere pressure and other conditions to recover and avoid damaging the hard disk platter

Thank you

Beside this, I think it's a bad idea if you don't have at least technical background (NO it doesn't count if you even have degrees in whatsoever). AND you have to assume all risks and costs - including tuition and HW of such a business. In any case, good luck.

You should start by gaining knowledge and understanding of the way hdd's work, IMHO.
Let me tell you this: A LOT of reading and experimenting in front of you. And A LOT of money spent on equipment, spare parts etc.

And I mean, A LOT.

I agree.
I started gleaning info from this forum for the last 3 to 4 years & then only joined last year so I can ask questions.
I have studied & researched a LOT & have bought what I can when I can.
Only now am I buying the more expensive kit like the Deepspar DDI, Laminar workbench etc so I can progress my learning further.

If your after the best kit (which is also the most expensive) then then following is worth researching:

http://deepspar.com/products-overview.html
Disk Imager
PC3000 Flash SSD
PC3000 + Data Extractor

Soft Centre kit
http://www.flash-extractor.com/shop/

Iphones / Ipads etc
http://www.ixam-forensics.com/passcode_bypass.asp

Clean room etc the list goes on........

You need a lot of MONEY, more MONEY, Training, Experience

First, I would to thank you correcting my word lunch (I was hungry in that moment!! :mrgreen: ). Second, nothing is impossible in a condition that you follow the right way and get information that you don't know from who really know, third, I'm agree with you about the skills which are necessary for almost everything

You would ask the vender of the kit your buying what training courses they have:

IE: Deepspar training http://deepspar.com/TrainingVideosForStartUps.html & http://deepspar.com/training-product-training.html but they wont be cheap but you will get a lot of info.
