Hard Disk Data Recovery

If you are looking for data recovery from a failed hard disk, we can help. Failures can be caused by internal damage, a fault with the circuit (PCB), firmware issues or a combination of these. We work fast to diagnose the root cause of the failure and recover your data. Please contact us for more information or book your free evaluation by clicking here.

Recovery options are available for both traditional hard disk drives and Solid State Disks (SSD’s). For SSD’s that are soldered to the logic board as with some MacBook Pro Models, please click here for more information. For other devices please see the menu above for options.

Damaged
Elapsed: 405.6 sec.
According to the media access timing verification test, the head stack is malfunctioning.
Media Surface
Media test has been skipped because the head stack is malfunctioning.
Firmware
Device is not locked.
Device identification data is valid.
Max Address according to device ID: 3,907,029,167
Native Max Address Ext: 3,907,029,167
Max Address from DCO: 3,907,029,167
Reported capacity appears logically correct.
Performing SMART checks…
SMART status: bad drive. Usually it is a good indication of media defects.
Failed to get SMART data; device might have a firmware failure.
