Signal Trace Technology for Data Recovery


Developed by Seagate Services, SignalTrace™ is groundbreaking technology used to recover data from media that is so severely damaged it cannot be addressed by traditional data recovery methods.

Emerging from a comprehensive R&D stage, SignalTrace™ procedures are now successfully applied to recover data from hard drives experiencing significant drive head and/or media degradation. SignalTrace™ is the result of many years of research and a substantial investment of Seagate resources.

SignalTrace™ is a revolutionary recovery technique which enables direct reads of information stored at the bit level on the drive's platters. Using engineered adaptive algorithms, SignalTrace™ interprets the raw content independent of the drive itself. By bypassing the drive electronics, SignalTrace™ enables recovery in situations where standard recovery technology generally fails. Seagate Recovery Services is the only provider able to offer drive-independent recovery technology to clients.

In his white paper entitled “Recovering Unrecoverable Data, The Need for Drive-Independent Data Recovery,” Charles H. Sobey, Chief Scientist of ChannelScience, stated that “SignalTrace™ is the only solution known to date that can recover user data from modern previously un-recoverable drives.”

Since its launch in 2004, SignalTrace’s drive-independent recovery methodology has opened the door to even the most challenging recoveries from any brand of hard drive. Seagate Services is proud to be the first to offer this solution to businesses and individuals who otherwise would have never gained access to their valuable data.
