Integrated RAID 0 mSATA SSD
Have an SSD from a Acer Aspire S5 or Acer Aspire S7 that just doesn’t seem to work when you remove it from your system? This is likely because you didn’t notice that the SSD is actually two SSDs on a single circuit board in a custom setup where they are merged into a single larger capacity SSD using RAID 0 striping.
What does RAID 0 (striping) mean?
The two SSD drives are merged together like a zipper at the sector level. The first 128 sectors are written to the first drive, the next 128 sectors to the second, the next 128 sectors to the first and so on. In order to recover the data, it is necessary to build a custom solution to allow interfacing with the second SSD. By striping data across two or more drives, the capacity and speed of the storage is improved significantly. Unfortunately, there is no redundancy with RAID 0. If one drive fails, then entire contents across all the drives is lost.

Seagate 7200.12 Head Crashes
As we get close to the end of 2015, we have been noticing a trend with Seagate 7200.12 series drives coming in for recovery. Many are coming from older Apple iMac systems, but others are coming from external hard drive enclosures and other brand name computers....
Warning: Data Recovery Scam Website
Recently, after following a, "too good to be true," Google ad, we found a "data recovery lab" who claims that they can recover data from any hard drive with any problem for a flat rate of $99. Better yet, they will return the drive back to you in 100% working...
