Xytron data recovery labs will examine your storage media in our class 10 (ISO 3) clean room environment where an engineer assigned to your case will look closely at all components both internally and externally such as the hard drive PCB to the head stack assembly if required. If a failed component is discovered it is replaced then the hard drive is retested to functionality and moved to our cloning and imaging department where an image is created of the media from the begining to the end of the user data area.

Our engineers can work directly with this raw image on a hex level byte by byte if required and repair any logical issues the image is then mounted and launched to check file integrity.

Lacie, Freecom, Maxtor, Seagate and WD Western Digital hard drive recovery services are performed in our in house clean room, such issues as clicking or noisy hard drives which can be caused by the drive being dropped or knocked to the floor, our engineers recover data from such failure types.

Bearing seizure is another issue that our hard drive labs deal with, this failure type requires a platter swap to another good working donor hard drive, again we are experts at this recovery procedure.

Overvoltage is another failure type for hard drives, especailly for external hard drives as it can be quite easy to mix up power supply cables and plug the incorrect power cable into the hard disk and cause serious damage to the drive.
