Ha Gotcha! Your knowledge of computers is wanting.  Magnetic harddisks can be scanned with laser for surface patterns arrangements,  I think your attacks on me are least professional.

This is totally nonsensical. You can't have the "same hardware characteristics"
and "larger capacity" at the same time.

Actually, if you've stolen a laptop, it's usually easier to just take the disk and
plug it into another machine and read it with the normal mechanisms.

And if you're doing data recovery because you were silly enough to steal a laptop
that had a physically broken disk drive, the usual hardware is magnetic-based
rather than laser-based.

This is even less IETF-relevant than your previous postings. Please read
the following two documents before posting to this list again:
