Internal Hard Drive Data Recovery Edinburgh

Internal Hard Drive Data Recovery Edinburgh.  If you suspect a hard drive or SSD failure has occurred then please switch of the machine and have it checked asap. We have seen many cases of a recoverable drives not being recovered because:

• Someone opened the drive
• Someone caused damage to a platter or head
• Someone ran check disk or disk repair software on a drive requiring head replacement and the drive heads damaged the platter.
• Never run recovery software on a hard drive or ssd until you a are sure that the drive has no hardware issues.
• Been look at by the IT chap at the customers place of work.
• Been looked at at the average computer repair shop which with all respect don’t run a specialist data recovery company.
• The customer though they could solder the hard drive PCB or swapping bios chips from hard drive PCB’s.
• Someone formatted a drive and continued to use the drive.

We have special hardware that lets us read unreadable drives, however even with this sometimes there is a small window of opportunity to get data off a hard drive  before resorting to swapping internal components.  With our DDI 4 recovery unit we would aim to get access to the drive and read any valuable data before the drive fails completely.  Any attempts by the customer or a computer repair shop only increase the wear and tear on an already damaged drive thus shortening our opportunity to get the data without having to obtain donor hard drive parts.

It is advisable in these situations not to keep trying, every attempt can cause wear and tear on components. What was once recoverable might not be afterwards, even if it is it may be more expensive.
