Hard disks are the commonest media on which we perform data recovery. Whilst disk costs continue to decrease and capacities increase, we are seeing that their reliability has remained more level.
All drives have a natural life span or a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), meaning that they will fail eventually. In fairness this is partly due to the fact that many failures occur for reasons outside the control of the manufacturer.
For example, power surges/cuts, human error such as re-formatting, virus infection, fire or flooding.

Failures that are attributable to the drive itself can include a head crash, servo mechanism failure, firmware corruption or a component failure on the circuit board. Where the recovery process requires that the drive be opened for inspection and repair this should be performed by a reputable data recovery specialist with clean room facilities.

The good news is we can recover your data from most data loss situations, even when other data recovery companies have said it is not recoverable. We have the specialist equipment and facilities to recover your data from almost any cause of failure. We charge nothing for analysing your disk failure so please forward it to us for an expert opinion.
Hard drive failures can broadly be categorised into logical, electronic, firmware or mechanical.
When a logical problem occurs the drive is detected but the data cannot be accessed.
When deciding wether to use the services of a professional data recovery company or attempt a youself with a do-it-youself downloaded program, please bear in mind that there is often only one chance to recover your valuable data. If you would like to have a discussion before sending your media you can contact us anytime.
