hard disk data recovery

any brand, any failure.

documents, photos, videos, databases - if it lived on a hard drive, we can bring it back

why your data isn’t gone even when the drive fails.

Even when an HDD won’t mount, isn’t detected, or makes clicking/buzzing sounds, the data on its platters is often still intact.

Our clean‑room tools let us repair or bypass failed components (heads, PCB, firmware) and image the drive sector‑by‑sector to safely rebuild your files.

devices & failure types we recover.

we can recover from:

  • Any make, model, brand, interface, or OS (Windows, macOS, Linux)

  • Any generation of HDDs—from legacy IDE/SATA to the newest helium drives

  • Any data‑loss scenario: mechanical/electronic failure, accidental deletion, reformatted drives, malware, file‑system corruption, encryption issues

common hdd problems we solve:

  • Seized spindle motor – persistent buzzing or no spin-up

  • Damaged PCB (printed circuit board) – no power / no detection

  • Bad sectors – repeated read errors, slow access

  • Firmware corruption – e.g., classic Seagate 7200.11 issues

  • File‑system corruption – volume mounts but files are inaccessible

  • Drive detected but no data accessible

  • Drive not detected at all

  • Deleted / reformatted drives

  • Encrypted drives (BitLocker, FileVault, etc.) – recovered with proper keys

signs of a failing hdd.

Clicking, grinding, or buzzing sounds • Frequent crashes or freezes • Very slow reads/writes • Corrupted or disappearing files • SMART errors / bad sectors • Drive not detected • System fails to boot

what should you do.

  • Stop using the drive immediately to avoid overwriting or further mechanical damage.

  • Don’t run chkdsk/fsck or DIY recovery tools on a mechanically failing drive.

  • Drives are complex sealed assemblies (platters, heads, actuators, spindle motors). Let trained recovery engineers handle it.

our 3‑step recovery process.

  1. Free Evaluation – We diagnose the failure and give you a fixed quote.

  2. Sector‑Level Imaging – We clone the drive bit‑by‑bit to preserve every recoverable fragment before any work begins.

  3. File Reconstruction & Verification – We rebuild folder trees and verify files open correctly before delivery.
