We at Plymouth Data Recovery have dedicated our time and expertise to helping recover data when a physical hard drive problem arises. When it comes to physical problems with hard drives there are many reasons but chiefly among them are problems with actuators, heads and platters becoming dislodged or even jumper connections becoming damaged due to access reconnecting and disconnecting. Contact us at Plymouth Data Recovery to find out more about why your drive might physically fail and what we can do to help recover your lost or inaccessible data.

As with the other devices within your computer an external HDD works with the firmware that has been factory loaded. The firmware is a small but important program that instructs the external HDD on how to behave in relation to any device it may be connected.  Such devices include USB ports or hubs, the memory or the CPU  (the heart of the PC or Mac itself). Faulty firmware may lead to your drive not allowing the reading or writing of data and may even fail to recognise the existence of data you have already saved. We at Plymouth Data Recovery are able to deal with problems caused by the corruption or loss of said firmware.

With 15+ years of experience with computer and hard drive breakdowns we think we have seen most of the problems that can occur because of problems with external HDDs and internal hard drives. One major problem caused by a fault in the behavior of an external HDD is the sudden rebooting or shutdown of the computer with no warning given. This is particularly frustrating if you are working on an important project at home or at work. Not only does this sudden shutdown lead to problems with the hardware but it also can lead to the loss and corruption of data stored on its internal and external HDDs. If your computer shuts down without warning and will not reboot correctly; leave it switched off and contact us here at Plymouth Data Recovery.

At Plymouth Data Recovery, we also offer our 15 years of experience in many other data recovery services so that your documents which are stored on Raid arrays and your sensitive data is safe. To see how our services can help your business, visit us at www.plymouthdatarecovery.co.uk
