From accidental deletion to hard drive corruption, there are many ways to lose data from your external drive. A sudden fall or impact can cause internal components to fail, which can make the hard drive unreadable. Water and fire damage, along with prolonged overheating, can also cause the device to malfunction.

You may accidentally cause file system corruption if you disconnect the drive without safely ejecting it or if your device gets attacked by a virus or malware. If you suddenly lose power during data transfer, this can interrupt the process and cause the drive's file system to be corrupted.

Can data be recovered from a failed external hard drive?

Yes, we can help with removable drive data recovery for a failed external hard drive. However, the success rate depends on the cause of failure, such as logical issue (corrupt file system and accidental deletion) or a physical failure (damaged components).

How can I tell if my external drive is failing?

You may notice clicking, grinding or beeping noises from your device. The external drive may also frequently freeze and be slow, or the drive may not register on your computer. Other signs your external drive is failing include files that disappear or become inaccessible and frequent error messages that appear when you're trying to open files.

What should I do if my external hard drive stops working?

You can try connecting the hard drive to another device to see if you can access files. It's a good idea to check if the external drive appears in Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (Mac) and see if you access the files that way.

If you're sure that the external hard drive is damaged, it's important to stop using your hard drive immediately to prevent further damage.

How much does professional data recovery cost?

It depends on the complexity of the issue and how much data you want recovered. We can provide a free no-obligation quote when you contact us.

Disk Doctors guarantees protection of your data throughout the data recovery process, from evaluation to handing data back to the client.

1. Disk Doctor Employees are selected through a rigorous process of selection and follow our strict rules and procedures for handling the client data.
2. Client media is cloned sector by sector onto our own lab media and all the data recovery work is carried out on the cloned media not the original media; this ensures that client’s storage media is always intact.
3. Upon successful recovery Disk Doctors by default keeps a copy of the data for 7days before it gets deleted automatically from our Lab Server. This helps in providing the copy of data again if some thing goes wrong during the transfer of data to client e.g. the data media gets damage or goes missing during the postal process.
4. Our agreement to recover the data includes the clause for protection and non disclosure of data as per legal rules and regulations. If you require separate agreement for data protection and non disclosure, we are happy to sign the agreement.
