From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So, the flash memory wasn't built into the terminal, it was a 2.5-inch SSD drive that I yanked out of its plastic case to fit into the terminal's SATA slot.
Once unplugged it, I dumped the disk image using the
dd
command onto my computer, and then I worked on that image to recover the data.Oh, that's fine then. Though you should still have monitoring on drive health, or backups if you don't care when exactly it dies.
