The National Association of Broadcasters held its annual show earlier this month in Las Vegas, Nevada. As the premier show for media and entertainment professionals, the event showcased a lot of the newest technology used in production and recording studios. Unlike CES (the Consumer Electronics Show) 2013 earlier this year, the storage mediadisplay at NAB was designed for commercial applications. And, as more and more recording and production professionals rely on hard disk and solid state storage for their media, it’s not surprising there were some surprising developments.

Data Recovery for High Capacity Hard Disks

Today’s broadcast and studio applications require high transfer rates and large storage capacities to accommodate large HD video files. But storing so much data on a single drive, especially a portable drive that can be subject to shock damage or other dangers while traveling, is risky.
