Hard drive simulator lets you SEE, FEEL and HEAR drives crash and burn
NOVATO, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
DriveSavers, www.drivesavers.com, the worldwide leader in data recovery
services, is pleased to introduce DriveSaver, the first iPhone application
developed by a professional data recovery company. The free application is a
hard drive simulator that educates users about hard drive data storage
technology, best practices for protecting digital data and data recovery
solutions. This virtual environment demonstrates the mechanics of a working hard
drive and simulates hard drive crashes. DriveSaver is fun, educational and
useful to anyone who ever wanted to see inside a hard drive or learn why drives
fail. 

The most popular feature of the simulator is Crash a Hard Drive. Users can
actually see, hear and feel a hard drive crash and learn the reasons why it
failed. The application simulates various types of hard drive failures, from
watching the drive shatter into pieces to seeing a circuit board go up in smoke
chip-by-chip. The Hard Drive Demo, using the iPhone touch-screen, enables users
to explore the different parts of the drive and its uses. And, if data loss does
occur, DriveSaver can help prevent catastrophic loss by providing do`s and
don`ts for data recovery. 

"Initially, we developed this application as an internal reference tool for our
partners. It is designed to educate IT professionals and their customers about
hard drive storage technology and data recovery," said Scott Gaidano, president
of DriveSavers. "It was so well received that we decided to release it to the
public for free. Anyone with an iPhone can experience the disastrous feelings,
sights and sounds of an actual hard drive crash." 

DriveSaver application is currently available on iTunes and in the Utilities and
Productivity categories of the iPhone App Store, and is compatible with any
iPhone or iPod touch. To download DriveSaver iPhone application, click here
