Who is IPDRA ?

[Andy Butler]

Don't you have to justify a name like INTERNATIONAL...?

[Dataguru]

Hi Andrew, The last time I checked there appears to be members from all over the globe. That does indicate an international organisation.

[Disklabs]

At the last count, there were 14 countries represented.

Is there a problem?

Regards,

Simon

Good to See an International Presence at last hopefully they are not experiencing the problems seen in the UK ?

Have you heard the News ! I bet you are glad to not be associated with them, shame it took a little operation like mine to spot what was going on!

Simon in answer to your question about exposing the rogues in the UK market who claim "in date" class 100 clean room certification and yet contaminate drives day in day out often causing further damage to the platters.

I will send you details of my complaint and findings from 2007 / 2008 /2009... yes another long rant ! but when you see so many consumers every month affected by these rogues you too must be dismayed, I know you have to stay impartial but when they threatened to put me out of business and my home for exposing them, there was no wonder I was upset.

Will it be OK for me to post my labs pictures from 2007 ? its a fairer comparison since your lab was set up many many many years before mine and I don't want you catching up too quick!

Our Laminar flow cabinet is inside our ISO-3 (class 1) clean room so would explain why many cabinets cannot achieve ISO-5 (class 100) certification in open workshops.

When will DiskLabs be showing its annual "in date clean room certificate" ?

Meanwhile we have launched R3Cover Data Recovery Software

What news is this Andy?

Of course it is OK to post pictures of your lab.

I will be posting the certificates later today. I am struggling finding them - but dont worry, I will dig them out.

Meanwhile we have launched R3Cover Data Recovery Software

I will have our engineer have a look at it and come back to you.

Nice one Simon, I look forward to seeing the clean room certificates of the other IPDRA members, I will will also have a serious think about joining.

Have a look at some of our data recovery lab pictures from 2007.

I will get some video and pictures done of our current setup which is undergoing a number of changes to cope with demand.

Data Recovery Lab


ABC Data Recovery Clean Room


We have now completed the installation of the leased line and the 10gb network installed in 2009.

The extension to the clean room should be completed in early 2011 but we have a lot to do this year.

Consider joining our site :- Data Recovery Companies its not international but is for promoting IT Professionals involved in data recovery.

Our clean room certificate can be downloaded from the abc Data Recovery Website

Andy,

Just a quick question ref your clean-room. Why?

We have been in the industry for quite some time, (est 1997), and have never felt the need to go to such measures.

Our laminar flow cabinet is certified to level 5, however, the actual readings make it level 4. Its irrelevant really, as it passes the standards that have been set. Because of this, we are happy with the work we do in the Clean Facility. Also, having been assessed by Western Digital several years ago, they too were happy with it. Why then, have you gone to such extents - when I cant see how it serves any purpose?

Best regards,

Simon
