Data Recovery Perth

Hard Drive failure is very common especially when you drop hard drives however there is still very good chance we can get your data back. Drives need to be opened up and worked on in a Cleanroom environment.

RAID’s are typically found in servers and are implemented by using a dedicated RAID controller card or the in-built functionality contained on modern server motherboards and allow for data to span multiple drives.

These devices are just thin 2.5 inch hard drives within a plastic enclosure and while they are portable the construction of the plastic enclosures are usually flimsy and do not protect the enclosed hard drive from damage if dropped.   Furthermore the construction  of modern 2.5 inch spinning hard drives are also flimsy and require care when transporting  them.

Camera Cards such as SD, SD-Micro cards rarely physically fail but cameras and other devices eg sound recorders then to use the FAT file system which is easily corrupted.

It is not uncommon for files and hard drives to be lost and hard drives become unbootable. This happens when important data structures on the drive become corrupt eg with NTFS the master file table,  When this happens your data is still there and recoverable.

Raw Recovery of files is a technique used when the file system of a Windows , MAC or Linux filesystems have become corrupt beyond repair. This technique scans the drive from beginning to end and looks for signatures of common files such as pictures, documents etc.

This technique may not recovery large files that have grown over time.
