Today most businesses rely on electronic storage devices and these devices are liable to get damaged in floods. Only a few businesses who have backups at different locations, can survive such disasters. If the drive or storage media gets wet or was sunk in floodwaters, Stellar suggests the following Do’s and Don’ts to maximize data recovery possibilities –
Do’s & Don’ts
1. Don’t Turn Power On
Ensure that external hard drives, laptops, PC’s etc. are unplugged. Do not turn on your computer/laptop, storage box, External USB Hard Drives or the servers.
2. Stop using the storage media immediately
Whether it is an HDD or flash storage, stop using the affected media promptly to avoid permanent data loss due to current leakage caused by contained moisture or water in the
drive.
3. Don’t try to open and repair drive yourself
It is highly recommended that you should never open a mechanical hard drive yourself and reach out to data recovery experts equipped with Class100 Clean room lab facility.
4. If submerged or wet, maintain same state for drive
Do keep the drive wet. This prevents the drive from corroding and data recovery experts will be able to clean & dry the platters correctly; thereby ensuring minimum
damage to platter surface.
5. Do not dry the Hard Disk using a hair dryer
Never use a hair dryer to dry the drive affected by water and moisture. Hot air is not going to remove moisture content from the drive as drives are completely sealed (with
one tiny hole for air intake). Instead, using heat can damage the platter and other crucial components in the drive.
6. Immediately reach out to a data recovery expert for assistance
It is crucial that you reach out to a data recovery expert immediately in case the drive is physically damaged due to submersion in water, moisture, manhandling,
heat, and so forth.
