    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.
