Hard Disk Drive (HDD) is a device used to store electronic data by using the surface magnetization tool of circular plates covered with magnetic materials. These plates are usually made of aluminum or ceramic glass of defined size, on the surface is covered with a thin layer (0.5-0.7μm) of magnetic material.
Some of the common data loss scenarios for hard drives include:
- Physical problems due to a drop or bumped drive
- Disk read/write head failure
- Power surge electronic damage
- Failed PCB (printed circuit board), which can sometimes cause a clicking noise
- Corrupt MBR (Master Boot Record)
- Corrupt partition table
- Damaged interface, such as USB or SATA connector
- Failed fuse, capacitor or resistor
- Bad motor controller
- Failed cache memory
- Failed voltage regulator
How can we help you recover your data?
The data recovery process depends on what has actually happened to your hard drive, memory stick or your digital storage media device. Our data recovery specialists will begin with a diagnosis of the hard drive to determine what exactly needs to be done and what solution fits your specific needs at what cost and then you are contacted by phone or email to discuss your data recovery job.
How much does data recovery cost?
Data recovery costs depend on the type of storage media, severity of damage, usage of spare parts, level of complexity and the amount of time the data recovery technician has to spend on the job in order to achieve a successful data recovery. We always inform our customers after the initial diagnosis and give them exact quote for data recovery.
Our data recovery process:
Step 1: We will determine the exact cause of the hard drive failure, analyze factors that could influence recovery, and provide a price quote. If you agree with the price quote, we will begin the recovery process.
Step 2: Our engineers treat mechanical damage, water accumulation, electronic issues, and file corruption using specialized technology to provide the best possible recovery in every case.
If you have provided a list of essential files, we will confirm the recovery at this stage of our process. We securely test your files with dedicated tools while taking precautions to protect your privacy.
Step 3: We will then return your data on a hard drive, flash drive, or other type of device. You only pay a full charge for your recovery if your requested files are restored to a completely functional condition.
