Data Recovery & Solid State

theoverlay writes "With all of the recent hype about solid-state drives in both consumer applications and enterprise environments I have a real concern about data recovery on these devices. I know there are services for flash memory restoration but has anyone been involved in data restoration projects on ssd drives? What are the limits and circumstances that have surfaced so far? What tools will law enforcement and government use to retrieve data for investigations and the like?"

Data recover services exist because people are stupid enough to not use redundant arrays and not make reliable backups. If you care about the integrity of your data you should be doing those two things, which will make the capabilities of data recovery services irrelevant. (Oh, and it's a hell of a lot easier to make your data safer by using more redundancy and more backups than by using a technology which is easier to recover.)
