Hard drive media damage

Media damage is caused when the read/write heads punch through the air bearing (created when the drive spins up) and contacts the surface of the platters. When this happens, the heads scratch the surface destroying needed information for the drive to work at all, not to mention destroying your data.

This photo represents severe surface damage. In this particular case, the drive did not shut down after the initial failure. The drive continued to spin and Head Rack assembly continued to traverse the media causing the mottled look that you see.

Your drive may be no where near this damaged but any visible concentric scoring of the media renders the drive unrecoverable.

"Would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone else."

ACE Data Recovery recovered all of my data, even though the drive was badly damaged. Throughout the entire process, Don was extremely professional and helpful. He also did a great job of keeping me up to date on where we stood in the recovery process. I will definitely use this company again.

"They have an amazing friendly staff"

If you find yourself in a situation like my wife where her hard drive decided to take a dump and threaten to leave her with the loss of precious files, then I highly recommend you look up ACE Data Recovery.
These guys where straight and transparent about expectations and certainly did not take advantage of our situation and offered reasonable recovery rates for the work they were going to employ. Their communication throughout the whole process was fantastic with weekly updates on the progress of the recovery. Another great feature offered was the ability to break the payment into monthly payments while they worked on our drive. They have an amazing friendly staff Don, Alevtina and Diana, to name a few that certainly makes the difference and are deserving of a 5 star Rating
