My hard drive has stopped working, what should I do?

The most important thing to do, in order to prevent any further damage, is to immediately power off the hard drive. It is important to stop using it and to not let anybody who does not know what they are doing use it or try to use any software to scan or make changes to the disk. Taking these measures will greatly improve the chances of a successful data recovery.

Are you able to recover my data?

Yep, most of the time we can!

When it comes to recovering data from a failed hard drive or solid-state drive you often get one shot at it. We have the skills, knowledge and expertise as well as the most advanced equipment available in the world to provide the safest and best possible chance at recovering your lost data. In fact, we are so confident in our expertise, that if we cannot recover your data, we do not charge you anything.

Hard disk drives can fail in many ways. Most commonly we see hard drives presenting with bad sectors, read errors, file system or partition corruption as well as damaged printed circuit boards (PCBs) and firmware problems. In pretty much all of these cases, we can recover your data.

If your hard drive is making any unusual sounds such as clicking, beeping or ticking, it almost always points to damage to the read/write heads, motor or other internal damage. These symptoms are very common and we specialise in such cases.

If the heads inside the hard drive are damaged, our success rate is typically lower. This is particularly the case with hard drives that have hit the floor from physical shock and have suffered damage to the disk platter. In cases of physical shock to your hard drive, as long as the disk platter surface is in good condition, you can usually expect a successful recovery, even when there is a motor or heads issue. In cases of severe physical damage to the platter surface, typically success rates are quite low, but you can trust that we will do our very best to recover your lost data in this case.

We would say that in most cases that hard drives have failed where there is not damage to the platter, or files have been overwritten, the data can usually be recovered with integrity.

Cases that are generally not recoverable typically involve scratched platters or overwritten data.

Free initial assessment – 1-2 business days

Once you lodge your data recovery job with us by either popping in or posting your device from Port Pirie, we will perform an obligation free initial assessment. This assessment usually takes 1 to 2 business days and once complete, we will advise which one of the three stages of recovery you fall under.

Once we get the approval from you, expect a typical turnaround time of between a few days to a couple of weeks.

As we mentioned, typically when it comes to data recovery from a failed hard drive, you often get one shot at it. Please don’t risk giving your hard drive with your critical business files or precious family memories to an unprofessional or inexperienced general IT repair technician. We see time and time again attempts made at data recovery that have destroyed the customer data.

Data recovery is a specialised field of IT that requires advanced equipment, knowledge of hard drive manufacturer firmware as well as a deep understanding of how hard drives work. Trust your data with us, the professionals.

How much does data recovery cost?

Our rates start at $350 and go upwards from there depending on the nature of the recovery. Not all devices are the same, so please give us a call or submit an online enquiry for relevant pricing.  We break down our service into standard service and emergency service, depending on your needs.

How long does the process take?

Hard drives fail in many different ways, they are mechanical in nature, have their own circuitry as well as complex firmware. The time required to recover your failed hard drive varies depending on what kind of problem it has and how it responds to the repairs we make.

If your job does not require cleanroom work, typically we can recover your data anywhere from a few days to a week. If your drive needs to go into the cleanroom for head replacement or if there is damage to the disk surface, expect a longer turnaround of up to 1 to 2 weeks. If you require a much faster turnaround time, we would recommend calling us and selecting emergency 24/7 service turn around.

How fast is the emergency service?

Put simply, emergency service allows your job to go straight to the top of the queue and we will work tirelessly 24 hours a day, seven days a week until your data is recovered. In some cases this could mean 1 to 2 days, other cases it could still take a week. There are some cases that we have repaired quickly but just simply take a very long time to image.

How to get started with us?

Call or send us an email and we will send you our process, pricing and lodgement form to fill out and submit with the drive. Once we receive your hard drive, we will perform the free initial assessment and provide a quote seeking your approval as to whether or not you would like to proceed.

Once we receive your approval, we will get to work. If you decline our quote, we will send your device back to you free of charge.

Once we recover your data, we will put the files onto another hard drive that you can supply or we can supply one from $90. If you do not have many files, we can send you a link to your files to be downloaded.

It is important to keep in mind that if you are posting a hard drive to one of our offices, that you please adequately wrap the device with 4 cm of bubblewrap on all sides evenly to prevent any physical damage in transit. There is no need for you to send any cables or adapters with the hard drive.

You are welcome to drop your hard drive at our office in person between 8:30 am to 5:30 pm Monday to Friday. Feel free to just arrive as an appointment is required.

Please don’t hesitate to give us a call if you have any questions about pricing or process.

We Solve even the hardest data recovery cases

Common Problems Include:

Read/write heads repair

A common cause of the read heads failure is physical shock damage or in some cases factory faults

Hard drive head stack assembly inspection

Printed Circuit Board

Printed circuit boards are the exposed electronic components on the underside of a mechanical hard drive.

HDD Firmware Repair

Hard drives have a small “cache” that works like the “RAM” in a computer, a “controller” and “firmware” to drive it all

Logical Corruption Repair

Recovering deleted files, formatted drive, virus attack, Cryptolock type viruses, unsafe power off and interrupted transfer processes.

Spindle/Motor Repair

Motors spin the platters at a very specific speed working in tandem with the reading heads and being controlled by the drive’s firmware

Hard drive spindle/motor repair

Media Damage/bad sectors
