Free iPhone application lets you SEE, FEEL and HEAR hard drive destruction.

We are pleased to introduce DriveSaver, the first iPhone application developed by a professional data recovery company — and the first iApp built specifically to simulate working hard drive components. Learn how a hard drive works and what causes a hard disk drive crash! We’ve listed all the menu items below, but will let you find one “Easter Egg” on your own – the type of crash that will destroy hard drives and digital data forever!

How does a hard drive work?

The DriveSaver hard disk drive simulator is a fun, educational and useful tool that allows users to see inside a hard drive.

Consumers and IT professionals can use DriveSaver to learn more about hard disk drive components, data storage technology, best practices for protecting digital data, and data recovery solutions.
