Hard Drive Failure Due to Head Crash

Hard drive is the basic storage media, which encodes digital data on rapidly moving platters, having magnetic surfaces. Read/write head is the designated component, for each platter surface except for the extreme ones, which accesses data from different parts of the platter. The head reads or writes data by detecting the magnetization of the material and not with the direct contact, though the spacing is quite negligible. These internal components face real operation load during the modern usage patterns (esp. during like gaming, graphics centric applications, HD Videos etc.) and are prone to physical issues post excessive work like data read/write etc. Such physical failures require Hard Disk Recovery if there is no updated backup provided that the physical platter surface is fine.

Hard drives are regularly getting larger in capacity, smaller in size and faster in speed (rpm) though simultaneously the space between the read/write head and the disk surface is apparently reduced. It decreases the fault-tolerance level of hard drive to an extent that a dust particle can come between the space and cause head crash that will need Hard Drive Recovery service. The read/write head may scrap the platter surface and eventually grind away the magnetic film, which may cause permanent data loss, for which no Hard Disk Recovery is possible. Other possible reasons of head crash include unexpected power failure, physical shocks, corrosion or poor manufacturing process of either platter or the head itself.

Hard drive internals are vulnerable to damages caused by unsuitable surroundings. A hard drive consists of a spindle which holds all the platters. The spindle needs proper air pressure inside the hard drive enclosure so that it may support exact mechanism of head access to the platters. This is to ensure proper spacing and height of head or else head crash will result. Hard drive enclosure has a small hole, which is typically 0.5 mm in diameter and has a carbon file filter which helps maintaining proper air pressure. Under the low pressure conditions, the head may get crashed due to lack of required lifting.

In case of head crash, Hard Drive Recovery engineers suggest to avoid using the same drive to avoid any permanent data loss. If user is still using the hard drive, it will force the damaged components to move and cause more damages. This is required to send the failed hard drive to a reputed Hard Disk Recovery company, which should have all appropriate recovery tools, precise techniques and standards like Clean Rooms.

Hard Drive Recovery companies have manpower of Hard Drive Recovery experts with in depth knowledge of hard drive internals, working and component level techniques. These professionals possess analytical hardware problem solving skills and expertise to accomplish complete Hard Disk Recovery service for workstations and servers. Hard Drive Recovery techniques also include drive imaging so that original data copy may remain safe and intact and no changes affect the data due to Hard Drive Recovery tests.

Stellar Information Systems Limited provides the finest Hard Disk Recovery service with sterilized Class 100 Clean Rooms. Hard Drive Recovery service engineers follow the exact and suitable recovery techniques, taking into account that data should remain intact. The Hard Disk Recovery service procedures are advanced and are able to extract all data.
