![]() My very old Seagate hard drive that had the only copy of about 7 years worth of my precious photos accidentally fell from my side table to the floor. We are the data recovery experts for all possible types of hard drives, such as: You can also relax knowing we protect your hard drive from further damage in our onsite class 100 cleanroom, which removes harmful dust particles from the environment - vital for successfully recovering your data. Bring or send your device to us, and our data recovery experts will provide a professional consultation to determine the best course of action, which will depend on the severity and cause of the hard drive problem. Rest assured, we can resolve data loss issues for almost any hard drive device, whether from physical or logical damage, and we can even recover accidentally deleted data. Technetics can recover data from a hard drive that is physically damaged or corrupted. ![]() If you’re experiencing that heart-stopping moment when you suddenly can’t access your files, don’t panic. Whether it be project work or a lifetime of photos, we rely on a hard drive to keep these files safe. Exposure to heat like this will only reduce the chance of a successful data recovery.We commonly use hard drives to store our most valuable data. This includes leaving it outside in the sun, using a hairdryer, or putting it in an airing cupboard. This might sound counterintuitive, but don’t try and dry a water damaged hard disk drive. Time is on your side – remove it from the water as soon as possible. This probably won’t cause much of a problem, but if an HDD is submerged for an extended period of time, it becomes increasingly difficult to recover data. So even if the drive is only sipped into water for a split second, some water will be let in. ![]() This is a complicated process that can involve advanced electronic soldering work.Īnother common physical problem we see is water damage – it goes without saying that water and electronics don’t mix! In order to equalise pressure inside the HDD, they have a breathing hole. Hard drive data recovery from a drive physically damaged by a power surge can be incredibly difficult and time-consuming, as because it can render the PCB board unusable, the chips need to be replaced to get it powered up again. Because hard drives are not able to sustain more voltage than they were made to, if there’s a power surge, there’s a good chance the internal electronics will fry. ![]() Hard disk drives are also in danger of being physically damaged as a result of power surges. This is known as a head crash and is probably the most common physical hard drive problem we see. The hard drive’s heads hover a hair’s width above over the platter, and if the drive is subjected to physical shock, it can damage the platter and cause data loss. In older hard drives, physical damage from the spindle was common, but is seen less now because of how far HDD technology has advanced. One of the most common causes of physical data loss is at head assembly level, which is the fastest moving and most delicate part of the hard disk drive. However, because they contain moving parts, they can be susceptible to physical damage when they’re dropped, knocked or simply when they reach the end of their lifespan. Generally speaking, hard drives are pretty resistant when handled and stored correctly. ![]()
