(Serious )seeking hard drive specialist for broken headers on hard drive.
Christophe Grenier's https://www.cgsecurity.org/ is probably the oldest and most respected. It has gathered years of information to do the recovery yourself.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing stress-ng and testdisk you can also consider the following projects:
phoronix-test-suite - The Phoronix Test Suite open-source, cross-platform automated testing/benchmarking software.
OpenSuperClone - A powerful data recovery utility for Linux with many advanced features based on Scott Dwyer's HDDSuperClone.
unbench - Benchmark utility for Linux.
ssd-gpu-dma - Build userspace NVMe drivers and storage applications with CUDA support
FIRESTARTER - FIRESTARTER: A Processor Stress Test Utility. This repository contains the source code generator. Our releases (including the generated source code and precompiled binaries) are available at https://tu-dresden.de/zih/firestarter/.
