Cables External hard disks disconnected during defrag

Asked By RuthC 0 points N/A Posted on - 08/07/2011

External hard disk has become a mandatory requirement today, Because the capacity of my hard disk is already full, then, I tried to defrag my external hard disk. But after I de-fragmented the hard disk's external cable, the cable had ripped its own damaged and broken connections.

My question is, is it common to have a missing data after the incident? Since a lot of data were inside the disk, I need to recover those data.

What do you think will help me solve this problem?

If the defragmentation of the external hard drive completed successfully, there should be no problem with your data in the external hard drive. They will remain safe in there as long as the hard drive itself is not damaged. If the only problem is with the USB cable that got ripped off, you just need to replace it with a new one.

The USB cable used in an external hard drive is normally a microUSB cable which is a cable with a standard USB connector on one end and a microUSB connector on the other end. You can actually just buy any cable with the same specification like this THREE Pack USB to Micro USB Sync Cable on eBay for $7.50.
