Netgear SC101 Data Recovery

Netgear SC101 Data Recovery

Data recovery from SC101 and SC101T devices


The file systems used by the Netgear SC101 and the SC101T are either Zetera ZFS or Dataplow SFS.  We have a full understanding of these file systems and are able to recover where other fail.

Whether your drive has suffered a logical failure and your data has completely vanished or if the drive has mechanical or other physical problems we are able to recover the data.

For see the following link for details about our SC101 data recovery services.

These units were fairly popular when they first arrived but very soon, reports starting coming in that there were problems with the power supply and over heating. In some cases this resulted with hard disk failure.

A new model was then brought out, the SC101T which addressed many of the problems. But there were still problems with the file system. A firmware update was brought out to address the problem, but by now there were several other genuine NAS boxes available that used the widespread Linux EXT file and operating systems. Netgear remained in the market with their 'ReadyNAS' equipment that too relied on Linux based file systems.

Slow Reponding Toshiba Drives

Toshiba Laptop Data Recovery Some problems have been found with Toshiba Laptop drives where the computer will fail with any of the following symptoms .. The drive hangs during boot Unable to access data Computer is very slow Problem with Drives We found the problem which is related to the G-List ( Grown defect list )it either becomes corrupt or is not readable. If it is not readable by the drive then the correct translator algorithms can not be run and so the drive slows down or even stops completely. Solution to Toshiba Hard Disk Problem. The solution is very complex and requires specialist equipment to enable rebuilding of the defect maps externally to the drive. However, once this is achieved the data can be accessed and a near perfect recovery is possible. For more information on this problem please visit our Toshiba Data Recovery pages.

Laptop Data Recovery

A large number of computers sold are laptop computers. They are light and portable. Modern laptops contain very large hard disks at the time of writing this article 500Gb are often seen here for data recovery. One of the most common problems we see are drives where the heads have crashed. The main cause is actually part of the design of the computer - remember the bit where I said 'they are light and portable'? It is easy to put the computer on your lap, then when you need to get up, lift the computer up and put it to one side. This movement can cause a head crash especially if the heads are reading or writing at the time. Most manuals that we have seen recommend putting the computer on a firm surface like a desk or a table and in fact NOT putting it on your lap - strange that they are called 'laptops' when it is not recommended to use them as such. Some manufacturers have developed hardware that detects when the computer is being moved and pulls the heads to a saf...

Fake Memory Cards

Fake Memory Cards. After seeing countless fake memory cards received for data recovery, we decided to write some software to help users determine if they have a fake memory or genuine memory card. The problem with the fakes is that they are so good, they actually appear to have the advertised storage space and it even seems that the full amount of data can be written. The only problem, is that the data overwrites some of the existing data rendering the older data useless. Our experiments indicate that (at least with the devices we tested) that the files and folder structures seem to be OK as they list as expected. The problem comes when the memory reaches its true physical limit. At that time, the data starts overwriting at the end of the card. As the file system information is updated, as normal there is no way of knowing, until you open a file that has been overwritten. It has gone, and unfortunately is most likely not recoverable.  Of course there will be exceptions to thi...
