This is one helluva ad for Seagate. What you are looking at is a 400 MB Seagate hard drive that survived the Space Shuttle Columbia’s break-up upon re-entry. Not only that, the data, which was for a microgravity xenon shear thinning experiment, was recovered and has yielded an important scientific research paper.

If I was Seagate, I would make this story into a magazine ad yesterday. It would also make a good ad for Ontrack Data Recovery, the folks who salvaged the data off the disk.
