I have been frustrated by a project lately where I am trying to pull a client's data from a potentially corrupted ZIF (zero impact force) hard drive.
I have already purchased and failed with 2 different adapters. I asked the second vendor why I might be having so much trouble and he told me it could be a problem with brand compatibility between the hard drive and the adapter.
1. Do you think brand incompatibility is why they are not working together?
2. I've only tried this in windows, might I have better luck with a program in linux?
3. Have any of you recovered data from a zif hard drive before outside of its original computer environment?
Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide!
I am including the following specs about the drive in case they are helpful.
