BBC Wildlife Photographer of The Year and his HDD. Read his story with data loss

Data we recovered for our clients are always carry special value for their owners. Family memories or a company's data base the probable loss is always huge. In 2011 KÜRT recovered many far-reaching cases of data loss and could help at the time of need. We share now a story we are really proud of. The gentleman at work on the picture below is awarded now serially for the best wildlife photographer of the year by BBC.

We are more than happy to help someone or an organisation who just like us aimed to reach excellence in their profession. At the case of Bence Mate (photographer) the media material was not really urgently or irreplaceable needed. He lost pictures and videos sorted and collected trough years of work to one hard drive.

Bence's HDD broke down in the summer of 2011. - "At a morning after turning on my computer the HDD spinned-up and I heard a clicking noise. Then the clicks got silent and the device stopped." - shares Bence he's story on he's Facebook page. He then called us and sent he's device to figure out the chances of recovery that luckily was stated high.

The inner parts of the HDD were injured the device was inoperable. Parts exchange and repair work made the drive come alive again and to be able to make a phisical copy of the data area. The pictuers and videos were made in Costarica, Brasil and Hungary. Bence works mostly in Hungary he also crated he's movie in a Hungarian national park.

KÜRT and its team wishes Bence more great awards in the future.

KÜRT supports Hungary’s PULI space project

 

We are very happy and proud to announce that we are again supporting a highly ambitious Hungarian enterprise with our data recovery technology. Since our company was established in 1989, our commitment to innovation, cutting-edge technology and excellence in quality has been the key driver of all of our activities, and we have now met a similarly dedicated team, a small group of enthusiastic and professional space technology experts working on plans of a dimension unusual for our small country.

PULI Space Technologies aims to develop new technologies allowing the regular launching of spacecraft to the Moon, opening new perspectives and at the same time providing quality services to forward-looking investors interested in exploiting the business opportunities offered by space.

To begin with, they wish to demonstrate their abilities by meeting in 2014 at the latest the  Google Lunar X PRIZE challenge by sending a unit of their own making to the Moon. The unit will reach space using a commercially available rocket, and then continue its journey independently to the surface of the Moon. After landing, it will explore the nearby areas and send high-definition pictures and videos back to Earth. The project is a major challenge for those who conceived of it, as it requires a solid, feasible mission plan, the development of the necessary components, the building of a working lunar vehicle, and finally sending the equipment to space and to the Moon.
The aim of this extremely complex task is to achieve a more modern and flexible form of space travel, which could have an impact on humanity that is comparable to the emergence of commercial intercontinental air traffic.

KÜRT Zrt. wishes the team strength of will and good luck with this difficult task.
