Delete. I took the precaution of Googling "DiskTuna" in addition to "DiskTune". —Codename Lisa (talk) 05:38, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I Googled for ""diy datarecovery" and found a book, not just an article, "Data Recovery Tips & Solutions: Windows, Linux, and BSD" (https://books.google.com/books?isbn=1931769567) by the late Kris Kaspersky (2006) with a Google quote of "This product developed by the Dutch company DIY DataRecovery is an excellent half-automated doctor with a wide range of settings."
I also found what shows an unusual form of notability: https://www.smartserials.com/serials/DIY_DataRecovery_iRecover_1.1.1_9566.htm, Google quoted as "Smart-Serials - Serials for DIY DataRecovery iRecover 1.1.1 unlock with serial key." A break-and-enter into an empty room? Obviously somebody values it.
A third "find" is https://www.pcreview.co.uk/threads/diy-datarecovery-reveals-diskpatch-easter-egg.1965447 (think of it as a free Logo-tagged calculator at a trade show). As for DiskPatch, http://diy-datarecovery-diskpatch.software.informer.com/3.5 describes it as "a professional data recovery utility that recovers data by repairing corrupt disk structures, like the partition tables, 'in-place'." www.tech-pro.net/diskpatch.html says that it's $49.95 and "Repair disks that won't boot; Repair partitions that cannot ..."
Clearly there's something to these people, and DiskTune/DiskTuna is not their only pony. Pi314m (talk) 10:16, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
