Cleanroom Class Comparison
Our Class 5 cleanroom provides significantly better protection than typical "clean bench" solutions used by many recovery firms:
| Specification | Class 5 Cleanroom | Clean Bench |
|---|---|---|
| Particles ≥0.5μm per m³ | ≤3,520 | Varies (typically 10,000+) |
| Airflow Control | Full room HEPA | Localized only |
| Environmental Stability | Precisely controlled | Room dependent |
| ESD Protection | Full room | Limited |
| Ideal For | Platter swaps, head replacements | Basic inspections |

When Cleanroom Recovery Is Essential
Our cleanroom facility is critical for these recovery scenarios:
Hard Drive Platter Swaps
Transferring platters to a donor drive requires a dust-free environment to prevent microscopic contaminants that can cause head crashes.
Head Stack Replacements
Precision replacement of read/write heads demands cleanroom conditions to avoid contamination.
Flash Memory Chip-off
Removing NAND chips from SSDs requires protection from static and particulate contamination.
