Damn, Steve is still around doing stuff? That guy is brilliant.
Think I first read about him in about 1992. Some of the stuff he's written is really brilliant insight into how things work, especially storage.
Yeah, still going strong and working on SpinRite 6.1/7 to work better with modern drives. That's actually why he made ValiDrive, because he was getting reports about these kind of problematic drives.
Also, if you're not aware of it, check out his podcast Security Now, it's a good listen every week and he explains concepts in a very approachable way.
Glad to see this here! Love the twit podcasts. Fuck Amazon and their apathy around any semblance of quality control or responsibility for products they ship.
Will give a listen!
Thanks for the reminder about Security Now. That's good stuff!
