Can I recover data from physically destroyed Hard drive?

Asked By John B Garrison 50 points N/A Posted on - 11/13/2013

Hello,

I have an external Hard disk of 320 GB that I use to store documents, images and some graphic work. I had placed it on top of a wall unit and forgot. So as I tried to pick something from the unit, the disk just came falling down and broke into pieces as it hit a hard floor. Is it possible to recover my data? I do not have a backup but will surely start to backup my files.

Hi,

    Well this is a serious hardware problem that you have got yourself into but no need to worry! 🙂

The hardware manufacturers always keep backdoors for such situations because these days data is much more valuable sometimes even more expensive than the hardware itself. Hence there will be surely a way to recover it.

All you have to do is to go to the manufacturer, where you bought if and they will recover your data for you at some cost.

Hope next time you be more careful. 🙂

Hello,

Don't worry, if you lost your data. There is a possible way through which you can recover your data. First of all check that if your hard drive is whether detected by your computer or not. If it's detected then use the recovery software to recover your data. Here's the list for top 10 recovery softwares. If your hard disk is making some sort of sound then there is some major hardware problem, then i would like you to go to data recovering service. You can get your data back.

Hope this helps
