The gadget is called System P. EX (for “platter extraction system”) and it is quite a heavy weight guy that weighs 75 kg. And the price is heavy too, which costs you about $7,000! The device uses laser-guided positioning to help it accurately extract platters from any 3.5 inch hard drive with minimal user intervention. What’s unusual element is that such devices normally require highly skilled operators, whereas the System P. EX can be used by a relative novice at a data recovery company.

Having this device, you don’t need some guys with Ph.d in your firm to operate it. Anyone can be an operator for this device to recover data, which decreases the cost for man power within the data recovery firm.
