Seagate Hard Drive Recovery by Seagate Hard Drive Specialists

Data Recovery Lab specialises in Seagate hard drive recovery

Seagate is the largest manufacturer of hard disk drives in the world. As Seagate hard disks are primarily electro-mechanical as any other manufacturer would make them, they can potentially suffer from the same types of hard drive failures as any other electro-mechanical drives.

Note: Hard disks made by all manufacturers can also suffer from similar problems. Seagate hard disks are no exception.

Common failures:

Desktop and laptop computers using Seagate hard drives are susceptible to failure mostly when in transit or due to operation in an unsatisfactory environment. Symptom of failure can include very slow operation of the computer, ticking noise due to corrupt servo track or read/write head failure. When you turn on your computer, a disk failure notice appears on the the screen at the time of startup or the computer will become extremely slow.

Firmware Issues:

On both laptop and desktop hard disk drives software is written on a memory chip on the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) of the hard drive. This software controls the interaction between the hard drive and the computer BIOS. If the information stored in the chip is corrupt, the drive will not function properly or will not interact with the BIOS at all.

In such cases the hard drive will show the following signs:

  • Failure to be recognised correctly in the BIOS causing the computer  to hang
  • Will not show up at all in the BIOS
  • Run slowly making regular ticking noise at start up

Mechanical Failure:

Most common component to fail in a hard disk drive is the read/write heads. For a variety of reasons the heads fail to float over the surface of the platters on an air bearing and will collide with the platters which hold the data on a virtual magnetic coating. Resulting bad or corrupt sectors will cause the computer to hang or run extremely slowly as the computer attempts to correct the errors.

Most Common Causes of Seagate Hard Drive Failure:

Damage as a result of shock or knock specially when a laptop or external hard drive is dropped or falls off the table or a shelf.
PCB failure as a result of mains power surge
Electronic damage as a result of over voltage or incorrect polarity
Broken Pin or Pins/ Data Cable IDE SATA SCSI damage
Liquid Spillage Damage
Corruption of systems files FAT/NTS/HFS or EXT2/EXT3
Virus attacks and virus infections
Accidental hard disk formatting
