In this days data is important for personal and business users, here are some tips and answers for your data lose questions
•
If you are like most people who own a computer, you would know what it means to have your computer fail. Perhaps, it is like having your car breakdown when you need it most. Had you made backup plans for the day this would happen, you most likely can continue your routine without interruption, having already backed up your data.
However, you still need to reformat your hard drive and then begin the long and tedious task of reinstalling the software that your computer used to have. Maybe you are lucky and have a friend who is computer smart and can help you with reinstalling all those system and application files onto your computer.
In addition, once you get the programs reinstalled, you still have to reconfigure the programs to have the same settings and other customizable features that you had before. Finally, you can then transfer the files and documents from your backup and then you are back in business. The problem is that this is all time-consuming and you are likely to have lost valuable working time during the rebuild.

There can be many different reasons for a hard drive crash.
It can occur gradually over time or abruptly.
A hard drive has the potential to last for many years before malfunctioning.
However, as with any mechanical device, a hard drive can and will eventually wear down.
Sometimes this can happen sooner than expected.
Physical damage is the leading cause of premature hard drive failure.
When a hard drive is powered off, the read-write heads park on a special area
of the platter that protects the heads and platter from damage.
When a hard drive is powered on, the heads are designed to move back and forth
across the platter surface. If a hard drive suffers any physical damage during this time
(such as bumping or knocking), it is more likely it will suffer a head crash.
A head crash is one of the most common reasons for drive failure and occurs
when the read-write heads make contact with the platter surface where the data is stored.
Also located inside the hard drive is a motor that provides power to the platters
and other moving parts inside the drive. this is common problem with Seagate Barracuda models.
not many hard drive companys have a knowledge how to resolve that big data recovery problem.
Over time, the motor will eventually wear down causing the parts to move at incorrect speeds.

Usfull advise for data recovery technicians having problem with heads asembly.
head swap is a quite complicated process to make your hard drive funcional.
if you are data recovery technician you probably know then its not easy to find a right heads for some drives.
confused which heads are right to work in your hard drive??

one more advice, if you are looking for a donnor drive start searching with serial number leters ex. WCANK that will help to save time.
Seagate drives are quite easy to match donnor drive with your recovery drive. problems starts when you got to take them out from the platters.
Seagate is not using ramps for safety removing heads form the platters, thay staing on all time.
if you need any more info about heads swap from dificult drives like Seagate Maxtor Samsung etc. send us an email to datarecovery@bestdatarecovery.co.uk
To match Seagate donnor drive search for Part Number then Firmware and Site Code.

Solid-State Drives and data recovery
Solid state drive is a future for storage devices.
No Heat, No Noise, Less power consumption, No damage to shock
Sounds great but when is all that gonna go wrong? Is data recovery going to be more expensive compare to Hard Disk Drives? We will find out in the future because it’s hard to say at this moment.
All we know we see more laptops with Solid State Drives.
OUR TIPS:
Backup, backup, backup!
One thing to keep in mind as SSDs become more ubiquitous: The need to have backups is mandatory since data recovery from a failed SSD is an unknown or possibly impossible.
No more freezer method folks!
Note that we will be seeing more SSDs in laptops and workstations as we go along.
Average prices on 64 GB Solid state drive is around 150 Ł but will go down.
So, a backup strategy for those clients that begin using them should be in mind when quoting an SSD based system. Backups should be the first thing that comes to mind if a client contacts us after purchasing an SSD based system too.

Here is an example of data recovery job
A whole laptop unit has been delivered to our lab a few weeks ago. we have notice than laptop drive has been damaged by fire, as u see the hard drive is in very bad condition.
to recover data from this hard drive engineers had to find exactly the same specification donor drive, it wasn`t an easy job because front label and pcb details burnt completely without leaving any details
Our technicians are very experienced that help us to find out which firmware burnt hard drive had previously.
Under this circumstances drive needed to have heads transplant and PCB replace, for heads swap its necessary to work in clean room (dust free environment).
Do not open hard drives if you cannot do it in clean room over wise platters are going to be damages and no data is going to be recovered.

Here is a popular situation when laptop users unlikely spilling liquids on their pc`s
I spilled coffee on my DELL Laptop. Now the laptop won’t start up…when I press the power button, the power light turns on…it stays on for 2 or 3 seconds and then turns off.
I connected it directly to the outlet and same thing happens. After a week or two,
I opened and cleaned the laptop, the keyboard, the hard drive, the motherboard, etc and still not working. If I knew what part is damaged I would replace it. The biggest problem for me is data in my documents folder.
I`m a graphics designer and need my projects back soon.
We have received numerous emails from businesses and end-users that had damaged disks as a result of flooding spilling liquids. These businesses experienced downtime when their computer systems were damaged by liquids.
Most of these people had no idea how to recover from this type of problem. For the victims of flood damaged hard drives, we have put together a short list of tips listed below:
1) Remove equipment from standing water and DO NOT POWER UP.
2) Remove the hard drive from the equipment.
3) DO NOT apply heat, freeze, or dry the hard drive.
4) DO NOT attempt to open the hard drive (doing so will spread debris across the platters)
5) Keep the hard drive in a zip lock bag along with a damp sponge so it remains DAMP.
6) Contact a Data Recovery Company
If you have water damaged hard drive and need help, please contact us for free information.
