HERE IT IS...OUR BLOG ON THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF HARD DRIVE FAILURES

WHEN A HARD DRIVE FAILS...THE ULTIMATE RUIN IS ALWAYS TO THE DATA.

BUT WHAT KIND OF FAILURES ARE THERE?
WELL THE FAILURE TYPES CAN BE CATEGORIZED IN FOUR GROUPS:



1. LOGICAL
2. MECHANICAL
3. FIRMWARE CORRUPTION
4. ELECTRONIC
1. LOGICAL
  • SIMPLEST, LEAST SEVERE AND THE MOST EASY TO CURE
  • NO PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO THE DRIVE

2. MECHANICAL

  • MORE SERIOUS THAN ANY OTHER FAILURE
  • PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO THE DRIVE
  • CAN BE DETECTED BY A CLICKING/GRINDING SOUND (NOT ALWAYS)

3. FIRMWARE CORRUPTION

  • THE SYSTEM IS UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE DRIVE
  • HARD DRIVE IS NOT RECOGNIZED IN BIOS
  • AFTER REPAIRING THE SYSTEM, FULL RECOVERY CAN BE EXPECTED

4. ELECTRONIC

  • ELECTRONIC CONTROL BOARD CAN BE KNOCKED OUT MAKING THE DRIVE UNDETECTABLE

REGARDLESS OF THE FAILURE TYPE COMPURECOVERY CAN DO ALL TYPES OF RECOVERY...YOUR DATA IS IMPORTANT SO MAKE SURE YOU CHOSE THE RIGHT COMPANY WHEN LOOKING CONSIDERING DATA RETRIEVAL
