Hard Drive Failure Types We Recover From
Our specialized recovery techniques can address all types of hard drive failures:
Mechanical Failure
Physical damage to drive components such as read/write heads, motor, or platters.
Warning Signs:
- âĸClicking or grinding noises
- âĸDrive not recognized by system
- âĸSpinning up then stopping
- âĸBeeping sounds from drive
Our Recovery Approach:
Our technicians utilize advanced hardware tools and specialized equipment to perform precision head replacements and motor repair. For severe cases, we can perform controlled component transfers using donor drives with compatible firmware.
Logical Failure
Corruption of the file system, partition table, or master boot record without physical damage.
Warning Signs:
- âĸDrive appears as RAW format
- âĸOperating system not found errors
- âĸInaccessible boot device
- âĸFiles and folders missing
Our Recovery Approach:
We use specialized software to repair corrupted file systems, rebuild partition tables, and recover deleted files. Our proprietary tools can bypass damaged sectors and recover data even when standard recovery tools fail.
Firmware Corruption
Damage to the drive's firmware code that controls basic drive functions.
Warning Signs:
- âĸDrive not detected in BIOS
- âĸDrive freezing during initialization
- âĸIncorrect drive capacity shown
- âĸDrive recognized as unknown device
Our Recovery Approach:
Our engineers repair corrupted firmware using specialized hardware tools that can directly access the service area of the drive. We maintain a comprehensive firmware library for all major drive manufacturers.
Electronic Failure
Damage to the drive's PCB (Printed Circuit Board) or electronic components.
Warning Signs:
- âĸDrive not powering on
- âĸBurning smell from drive
- âĸNo spin-up after power connection
- âĸVisible damage to circuit board
Our Recovery Approach:
We perform PCB replacements with ROM chip transfers to maintain the drive's unique calibration data. Our technicians use micro-soldering techniques to repair damaged components when necessary.
RAID Array Failure
Failure of one or more drives in a RAID array, or corruption of the RAID configuration.
Warning Signs:
- âĸArray shown as failed or degraded
- âĸData inaccessible on the array
- âĸMultiple drives failing simultaneously
- âĸRAID controller errors
Our Recovery Approach:
Our RAID specialists can recover data from all RAID levels (0, 1, 5, 6, 10) by reconstructing the array virtually. We can handle failures of multiple drives and recover from accidental RAID rebuilds or reinitialization.
Our Data Recovery Process
Free Evaluation
We begin with a comprehensive evaluation of your damaged drive, identifying the exact nature of the failure and determining the best recovery approach. This diagnosis is provided at no cost to you.
Recovery Plan
Based on our evaluation, we provide a detailed recovery plan including expected success rate, timeline, and cost. We proceed only after your approval and with a clear understanding of the process.
Expert Recovery
Our technicians perform the recovery using specialized tools and techniques appropriate for your specific case, from clean room repairs for physical damage to advanced software solutions for logical issues.
Secure Return
After verifying the recovered data, we transfer it to a new secure storage device and provide it to you along with a detailed report. All temporary recovery copies are securely deleted from our systems.
Advanced Recovery Technology
Our specialized recovery equipment is essential for successful physical hard drive recovery. We use industry-leading hardware and software tools specifically designed for safe data extraction from damaged drives.
Hard drive platters contain your data on microscopic magnetic sectors that require extreme precision when handling. Our advanced toolset allows us to safely work with damaged drives and perform delicate procedures like:
- âĸHead stack replacements - When read/write heads are damaged, they must be precisely replaced with compatible parts
- âĸPlatter swaps - In severe cases, data platters must be carefully transferred to a donor drive
- âĸMotor repairs - For spindle motor failures that prevent platter rotation
- âĸPCB chip transfers - Moving unique ROM chips to replacement circuit boards
Why Specialized Equipment Is Essential
Critical Protection: Opening a hard drive without specialized tools can cause immediate physical damage to sensitive components and result in permanent data loss.
Precision Work: Our advanced equipment allows for the precise disassembly and repair of drives with maximum data protection.
Professional Standards: Our recovery lab uses equipment and procedures that meet or exceed industry standards for safe data recovery.
Warning: Beware of amateur recovery attempts. Improper handling of malfunctioning drives can cause permanent data loss and make professional recovery impossible.
RAID Array Recovery Specialists
JTG Systems specializes in recovering data from failed RAID arrays of all configurations. Our unique approach allows us to recover data even when multiple drives have failed or when the RAID configuration has been lost.
RAID 0 Recovery
Despite having no redundancy, we can recover data from striped RAID 0 arrays by virtually reconstructing the array and extracting data blocks in the correct sequence.
Common issues: Single drive failure, stripe corruption, controller failures
RAID 5 Recovery
We recover from RAID 5 failures even when multiple drives have failed, using advanced parity calculation techniques to rebuild missing data blocks.
Common issues: Multiple drive failures, parity errors, rebuild failures, URE during rebuild
RAID 10 Recovery
For complex RAID 10 (1+0) configurations, we rebuild the mirrored sets first, then reconstruct the striped data for complete recovery.
Common issues: Multiple mirror failures, configuration loss, controller errors
NAS Recovery
We specialize in recovering data from all major NAS brands including Synology, QNAP, Buffalo, and Drobo, even with proprietary RAID implementations.
Common issues: Firmware corruption, multiple drive failures, accidental resets
Server RAID Recovery
Recovery for enterprise-level server RAID systems including Dell PowerEdge, HP ProLiant, and IBM/Lenovo servers with complex storage configurations.
Common issues: Controller failures, backplane issues, complex multipath failures
Virtual Reconstruction
When physical repairs aren't possible, we virtually reconstruct RAID arrays using specialized software to calculate the correct data striping pattern.
Common issues: Unknown RAID parameters, non-standard configurations, lost RAID settings
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does hard drive data recovery cost?
Recovery costs vary based on the type of failure. Logical recoveries typically range from $300-600, while physical recoveries range from $600-1500. RAID recoveries are quoted individually based on complexity. We provide a detailed quote after our free evaluation, with no obligation.
How long does the recovery process take?
Logical failures are typically completed same-day. Physical recoveries usually take 2-5 business days depending on the extent of damage and parts availability. RAID recoveries can take 3-7 days based on array size and complexity. We offer expedited service for emergency situations.
Can you recover from severely damaged drives?
Yes, we can recover data from severely damaged drives in many cases, including drives with head crashes, spindle motor failures, and platter damage. Our Class 100 clean room allows safe handling of internal components, and we maintain an extensive parts inventory for donor drives.
Is my data kept confidential?
Absolutely. We maintain strict confidentiality for all recovery work. Your data is only accessed by authorized technicians, and we can sign NDAs upon request. After recovery is complete and verified, we securely wipe all working copies of your data from our systems.
What should I do if my drive fails?
Immediately power down your system and do not attempt to run recovery software or repair utilities. Do not open the drive case or attempt physical repairs. Contact us right away, as continued use of a failing drive can cause additional damage and make recovery more difficult or impossible.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes, we offer a "No Recovery, No Fee" guarantee. If we cannot recover your critical data, you won't be charged for the recovery attempt. We also provide a detailed pre-recovery assessment so you know the likelihood of success before proceeding.
