Traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) can fail due to mechanical wear, electrical issues, file system corruption, or physical damage. At Prime Tech Support, we provide professional hard drive data recovery services using lab-based diagnostics and controlled recovery techniques.
Because HDDs rely on moving components and magnetic platters, recovery often requires specialized handling to prevent further damage and maximize data recovery potential.
What Data Can Be Recovered from Hard Drives?
Depending on drive condition and damage level, recovered data may include:
-
Documents, photos, and videos
-
Business files and databases
-
Operating system data and user profiles
-
Project files and application data
Recovery availability depends on the nature of the failure and whether the drive can be safely accessed during evaluation.
Common Hard Drive Data Loss Scenarios We Evaluate
We commonly evaluate hard drives affected by:
-
Drives making clicking, grinding, or buzzing noises
-
Drives not detected by the system or BIOS
-
File system corruption after crashes or power loss
-
Accidental formatting or deletion
-
Electrical damage from power surges
-
Physical damage from drops or impact
If your hard drive is no longer accessible or data appears missing, a professional evaluation is required to determine recovery options.
Hard Drive Types We Recover From
We evaluate data recovery cases involving:
-
Internal desktop and laptop hard drives
-
External USB and Thunderbolt hard drives
-
Hard drives used in workstations and gaming PCs
-
Drives from Windows and Mac systems
-
Multi-drive configurations and legacy systems
Each drive type may present unique mechanical or logical challenges, which is why recovery methods are assessed individually.
