Logical fault data recovery

Logical faults refer to file system-related faults. The writing and reading of hard disk data are achieved through the file system. If the disk file system is damaged, the computer cannot find the files and data on the hard disk. Loss of data due to logical failures can be recovered in most cases by data recovery softwares.

Hardware failure data recovery

Hardware failure accounts for more than half of all data accidental failures, often with circuit failures caused by lightning, high voltage, high temperature, etc., mechanical failures caused by high temperature, vibration and collisions, high temperature, vibration collisions, and physical bad track sector failure caused by aging storage media. Of course there is accidental loss of damaged firmware BIOS information and so on.

The data recovery of the hardware fault is of course the first diagnosis, the right medicine, first repair the corresponding hardware failure, and then according to the repair of other soft faults, the final success of the data recovery.

End users generally do not have the hardware or technical expertise required to make these repairs. Consequently, data recovery companies are often employed to salvage important data with the more reputable ones using class 100 dust- and static-free cleanrooms.
