Laptop Hard Drive Data Recovery

Laptop Hard Drive Data Recovery

Laptop hard drives have a much higher failure rate than desktop drives. It has an average lifespan of 3 years. This is due to the accidental corruption that they encounter in their daily life. 

However, the laptop hard drives are smaller and lighter than desktop hard drives. A standard desktop hard drive is 3.5″, while a Laptop hard drive is only 2.5″.  

Our experts fully evaluate each Laptop's hard drive to encounter the problem and find a recovery solution. Below are some issues usually faced with Laptop hard drives:

Burnt-Out Printed Circuit Board:

Many PCB problems are encountered with Laptops and thus cause a short circuit and a collapse of PCB. However, we must find an exact match between the drive model and the board while replacing the board. Hence, to make the drive functional, we can extract the data.

Apple Mac Laptops:

The data recovery process of Mac is the same as a Windows-based recovery. Thus, many Apple stores suggest clients use Bingecart for data recovery projects.

Head and Platter Damage:

The platters are revolving and the read-write heads move on a bearing when a laptop is turned on. Due to this reason, it is simple and easy to see how a platter can be damaged if the Laptop is moved, knocked, or dropped.  

Garbage In The Drive:

Many people think the hard drive is sealed, but it is false. Airflow in the drive is required to float on the air bearing for the read-write heads. The drive has filters that clean the air as it rotates. 

But, the magnetic surfaces fly off the platter surface as the drive ages. Most fragments are found in the filters. However, some particles might move on the platter and damage the read-write heads when the Laptop is dropped.

The reality about Laptop Hard Drives

The average span of Laptop hard drives is around three years

Drivers fail due to various reasons:

Operator error
Corruption
Electrical Surge
Overheating
Viruses
Poor Manufacturing

If you think laptop data loss might occur, go through the below procedures:

  1. Shut down your device immediately.
  2. Avoid rebooting the PC, as it might cause more damage
  3. Don't shake or try to clean a damaged drive.
  4. Never try to install any hardware or software.
  5. You must not use file recovery software to repair an injured drive.
