Galaxy S4 Active

Is your phone connected to an exchange server (i.e. do you get work emails on it)? Your IT manager may have encrypted your phone and SD card, in which case they would probably be the only one that can decrypt it (besides maybe logging out of the exchange account)

Oops, someone asked me to factory reset their computer.
Now they realize that they had tons of pictures saved on that machine.

Any hope?

TIA

So your saying a factory reset is no different than any deletion?

Correct although if I had to guess the chances of getting all the data back would be slimmer because some of the hard drive was rewritten when it was reset

It might be better to use something like PhotoRec:

Incorrect. Why would that help anything?

With these things, even if it's not your fault, it can still become your problem.

Setting up a Synology NAS.
BHPV has a kit with WD RED NAS drives or with HGST NAS drives.
The HGST is a little more.

Any recommendations?

Thanks

Hgst has a MUCH lower fail rate IMO if its a little more its definitely worth the money

I'm no expert on this, just chiming in to make sure that you've tried more than one USB port.

Great.

the next Q would be if you see it in Device Manager.

And after that I defer to the experts
