A room that has a Class 10 certification represents an almost perfect environment. Why almost perfect? Because you can find 10 particles of dust in every cubic meter of air, or so I've been told. Such a room is being used by research companies for analysis of certain elements in a controlled environment. One well known "clean room" is HP's center where they develop and test cartridge technologies and ink.

Besides having to wear a special suit and usually going through air shower to make sure that no exterior particles are brought into the facility, what happens when somebody catches a cold? And having to recognize your colleagues by the way they handle themselves is one of the bad things. So your attention shouldn't only be directed to your work, but also to the people around you, so that you don't accidentally talk to your boss thinking he's a co-worker, and you tell him stuff that only your co-worker should hear.

Add some spice to the recipe, and some hard drive disaster situations and data recovery, and you get microDR's Class 10 clean room. The motive for building their own "clean room" is that it would allow them to open hard drives without the risk of contamination during the recovery process. It's true that even the smallest spec of dust could create bad sectors on the surface of a hard drive platter, and when somebody brings you a hard drive which has already suffered some form of disaster situation, you don't want to add to their grief by telling them that some 2.000 employee files have been obliterated by ones sneeze.

Patrick Koh, Chief Operating Officer of micronDR (S) Pte Ltd. said that: "A single speck of dust can completely ruin the delicate platters that hold information. Our proprietary media rejuvenation process helps to make it possible to read damaged hard drives. In most cases, data recovery only allows one attempt before the media becomes totally unrecoverable. We are investing in such a top-notch facility because we recognize the importance of data to today's businesses. When data is lost, retrieval speed matters most. micronDR will do what it takes to recover data on any digital storage media quickly and cost effectively for enterprises and consumers."
