Press Release: DriveSavers Data Recovery Joins SandForce Trusted® Program

DriveSavers provides SandForce customers with the most reliable, fastest and secure data recovery solutions for solid state drives

MILPITAS, CA – May 5, 2011 – DriveSavers, the worldwide leader in data recovery services, today announced that SandForce® Inc., the pioneer of SSD (Solid State Drive) Processors that enable standard NAND flash deployment in enterprise, client and industrial computing applications, has added DriveSavers as an authorized SandForce Trusted® member.

SandForce delivers world-class SSD technology with reliability, performance, and power efficiency that differentiates SandForce SSD Processors from standard flash controllers. SandForce DuraClass® technology is architected to scale and compensate for commodity NAND flash memory shortcomings, ensuring SSDs can be reliably used in enterprise and client computing environments for generations to come.

Because user error, mismanagement, and software or unexpected hardware malfunctions can lead to SSD failure, SandForce is working with the leading data recovery service provider, DriveSavers, to give its customers a reliable, safe and secure solid state drive data recovery solution in the case that data loss occurs.

“DriveSavers was our first choice to expand the SandForce Trusted program to include data recovery services,” said Kent Smith, Senior Director of Product Marketing for SandForce. “While SandForce SSD Processors eliminate the most common data loss scenarios through DuraClass NAND flash management features, DriveSavers can provide the SSD a safety net should the unexpected SSD failure happen and data loss occurs.”

“We are thrilled to be part of the SandForce Trusted® program,” said Chris Bross, Senior Enterprise Engineer at DriveSavers. We have a long history of analyzing complex data structures and overcoming technological challenges and generating successful SSD recoveries. We continually invest in SSD data recovery research and development to ensure our engineers and technology are ahead of the curve as these devices continue to gain market share.”
