data recovery from working hard drives
Logical Level Recovery - Simple to Complex Data Loss Situations
Common data loss issues include accidental file and folder deletion, drive formatting, and file corruption. While DIY software can recover data in many instances, some situations may be too complex for data recovery software. For these complex cases, our professional services offer expert assistance to restore your data from hard disks.
Accidental Deletion
Accidental deletions, whether from a mistaken SHIFT+DEL or clearing the Recycle Bin, are common occurrences. At Stellar, our experts employ proprietary data recovery software and specialized techniques developed over time. For complex data loss situations, trust our professionals to restore your hard disk data.
Virus Infection
Viruses can severely damage data integrity by corrupting or deleting files. If your HDD data, files, or folders are affected by a virus, we can help recover them. Using advanced tools and file repair techniques, we retrieve data from hard disks and external drives impacted by malware. Our experts ensure your files and folders are restored to optimal condition.
Data loss Due to Drive Formatting
Formatting a hard drive partition is a common cause of data loss, especially when drives become slow or are impacted by malware. Often, users format the drive without backing up their data. Our hard drive data recovery experts are here to help restore your data in these situations.
Data Recovery From not detected hard drives
Restore Data From Physically Damaged Hard Drives
Hard drives can become undetectable due to physical damage, such as shocks from mishandling, water spills on laptops, flood damage, or fire. Often, these issues involve misalignment of the drive's read/write heads, or scratches on platters. Our expertise in recovering data from even the most complex physical damage situations is unmatched.
Burnt Hard Drives
Fire can destroy a hard drive's casing, PCB, and connectors, but the data stored on the internal platters may still be recoverable. The chances of recovery depend on how much heat reached the platters and whether they remain undamaged. Professional cleanroom recovery is often required for fire-damaged drives. Explore our burned hard drive data recovery service to learn how the recovery process works.
Water-Damaged HDDs
Water exposure can cause corrosion and electrical failure, making hard drive recovery more complex. Although recovery is often possible, improper handling can permanently damage the drive. Before attempting any DIY fixes, learn what to do after water damage in our guide to recovering data from a water-damaged hard disk.
Read-Write Head Assembly Issue
A head crash occurs when the read/write head contacts the platter surface, causing severe scratches and damage that make data recovery difficult. Since platters contain vital data, this issue is especially challenging. Stellar's extensive library of donor parts for all major hard drive models enables us to achieve the industry's best success rate in data recovery.

FAQs
An HDD (hard disk drive) is a common storage device used in computers to save and retrieve data. It uses spinning disks to store information, making it affordable and offering a large storage capacity.
- Desktop HDDs: Larger drives are used in desktop computers with lots of storage.
- Laptop HDDs: smaller drives for laptops, offering a good balance of size and capacity.
- Enterprise HDDs: high-performance drives for servers and data centers, built to last.
- External HDDs: portable drives you can use for extra storage or backups.
- Hybrid HDDs (SSHDs): a mix of HDD and SSD technology for better speed.
HDDs use spinning disks to store data, making them slower but cheaper with more storage. SSDs, on the other hand, use flash memory with no moving parts, making them faster, quieter, and more durable, but they cost more per gigabyte.
If you need to recover data from a hard drive, it's best to go to a professional. Stellar Data Recovery Centers are experts in getting data back from all types of drives, including HDDs and SSDs. They have the tools and knowledge to help you recover your lost data safely and quickly. Visit a Stellar Data Recovery Center near you for help.
Data recovery cost varies. It depends on various factors, such as the complexity of the situation, the capacity of the hard drive, etc. However, in case of physical damage to the hard drive, the procedure is more complex.
