It's expensive as hell :)

The companies that do it charge several thousand an hour, IIRC. (this was back in the 90s?)

Depending on the non-spinning disk type in question, it can be either more or less secure than the usual magnetic HDD. You've got "flash" but that's just a nice word for any number of highly-differing technologies such as MLC and SLC on the inside. And you have NAND vs NOR techs to consider as well.

Perhaps the security in non-magnetic-HDDs comes from the fact that they're so new to the table, not many specialize in restoring data from them.



Could you give the name of one of these companies?
