For anyone who's ever felt left in the dark by a hard drive that's failed for no apparent reason, data-recovery services company DriveSavers offers some mobile peace of mind. The company will update its free DriveSaver app for the iPhone and iPod touch that can simulate solid-state drive failures.
The Crash a Hard Drive feature educates users about how hard drives can crash and what you can do to ensure safe data storage. The new addition will now add a solid-state drive to the mobile app's simulations of real-world drive failures.
DriveSavers is rolling out the new feature in the next version of its mobile app, which is awaiting Apple's approval. Until that happens--DriveSavers anticipates it will be released within a week--the company is offering a Flash-based version of DriveSaver that includes the solid-state drive simulation.
If you're at Macworld Expo, you can see demonstrations of the app first-hand at both the Mobile Applications Showcase (Booth #1366) and DriveSavers' booth (#1448).
