Physical crash of the storage media is one of the most smashing experience for a user. Once you lose the data, it becomes highly critical that you follow some measures that can lessen this blow and hence prevent permanent data loss. Storage media once broken becomes sensitive and you might harm your data by following unreliable acts. However, understanding and determining some warning signs can actually make a difference for getting best Data Recovery results.


So, follow these guidelines in order to avoid permanent data loss:


  • Unplug your computer as soon as you can. Storage media like hard drives are prone to damages due to static electricity, extreme heat , water, fire, smoke and external jolts and shocks.

  • If you suspect that your hard drive is continuously making unusual clicking, whirring and grinding sounds, immediately power down your system. A hard drive produces such sounds when failed read/write head(s) hit and scrap the magnetic material. If you continue to run the system in this state, you might damage the data forever.

  • When sending a failed hard drive to a Data Recovery Servicecompany, make sure that you have packed it with suitable packing material. Experts usually suggest using anti-static bag covered with shock-proof material like foam. However, the best recommended material is to use the original bag the hard drive came in.

  • If you can run the system even after the damage, backup your data and don't use any software utility.

  • Do not try to make any recovery attempt by opening the hard drive or by using any diagnostic tools.

  • The best step to be undertaken is to call a reputed DiskĀ  Recovery Software company that can successfully recover all your lost data. A company providing Data Recovery Service possesses the entire set of advanced recovery tools and techniques used to repair and replace the damaged media internals. One of the prime requisites for complete recovery is availability of Clean Rooms that provides dust-free and filtered environment to open a media. The recovery experts perform several disk level procedures using hardware and software tools in order to recover your data.
