A damaged or inaccessible hard drive is a warning signal for its user: the files it contains are in danger! But as hell is paved with good intentions, wanting to do too much to try to recover them can lead to the opposite effect: the permanent loss of the Data Recovery. We have listed 5 actions that can definitely lead to this end…

A hard drive is designed to withstand common shocks and temperature surges, but it has its limits. A violent fall, prolonged exposure to high heat, the effect of condensation: multiple factors can lead to mechanical failure of the hard drive, and result in damaged read heads, scratched platters or a seized motor.

The hard disk is also susceptible to electrical damage (overvoltage, short circuit, etc.), which can burn out the PCB most often.

A storage medium can also become unusable without being physically damaged. We will then speak of a logical failure (formatting, file system corruption, mishandling, etc.).

In most cases, it is still possible to recover Twitter data from a failed hard drive. Provided you do not amplify the problem by adopting bad reflexes.
