Here is an example of a drive that was sent for recovery after the client opened the drive at home. The Hard drive was in an external enclosure and was dropped from a table. The spindle motor seized up and would not start. Very important, if this happens; call MVI Data Recovery first for a free evaluation. Do not open the drive as this decreases the chances of making a recovery!
This laptop drive is from a MacBook. The drive was working fine, then after a delay the MacBook stopped working and froze. The user rebooted the machine and the drive started making a clicking noise. It is very important to stop running the drive when it starts to click. It will only cause more damage to the internal parts. Call MVI Data Recovery for a free evaluation of this situation.
With this example of a hard drive, you can clearly see the effects on the moving parts within. If the drive gets left to spin up and down after the heads have failed, the end result will be massive scorning on the disk platters. When this happens, file data recovery is virtually impossible. So very important, when the drive starts clicking or clunking, shut it down and give MVI Data Recovery a call!
