Hard Disk Mechanical Components and Internal Components

Hello everyone, Welcome to Date Empires. Friends, I believe that you all might have seen the hard disk. In the market, the hard disk comes in two different sizes. The first one is 2.5 inches hard disk, and the second one is 3.5 inches. The 2.5-inch hard disk is extensively used for laptop and external data storage. There is a sticker placed on the top cover of the hard disk, on which all the information related to the hard disk is mentioned. It includes the name of the manufacturing company, serial number, part number, model number, date of manufacturing, and its firmware information.

When we open the top cover of the hard disk, we can see the internal mechanical structure of the hard disk. Here we can see ribbon cables, head, platter, spindle motor, slider, actuator, magnets, and head parking area inside it. In this hard disk mechanical data recovery video blog, we will learn about the types of mechanical parts, which are attached to the hard disk and their functioning. Also, we will understand the architectural and, the fitting situation of Mechanical Components.

Special note : While opening the top cover of the hard disk, we have to make sure that the top cover of the hard disk should be opened in the class 100 clean room only.

What Is Hard Drive Mechanical Failure?

Hard drive mechanical failures occur when the movement of HDD (Read and write heads, spindles of hard drive, or actuator arm) stops functioning due to many reasons. Even the slightest mechanical failure can cause trouble, and you may lose your data. So, it is essential to identify the mechanical failures and should be repaired or replaced immediately.

Types Of Hard Drive Mechanical Failures:

1. Failure in the head or head stack
2. Failure in actuator lock
3. Failure in magnetic or surface scarring
4. Failure in vibration dampener
5. Failure in head parking ramp assembly
6. Failure in head spring tension
7. Spindle seizures

Reasons For Hard Drive Mechanical Failures:

1. Immediate physical impacts- occurs in heads breaking, bending, or misaligned
2. High-temperature exposures- occurs in twisting the metal components
3. Immediate power cut/failure- occurs in the heads when not parked correctly
4. Venerability- Over time, magnets lose their magnetic properties.

Fix Hard Drive Mechanical Failures With Us:

Don’t worry! Mechanical failures are very common. If you think you are facing the same issue or any of the above-mentioned reasons are related to your hard drive that is not operating correctly, get in touch with Data empires. We have skilled and experienced mechanical data recovery experts that have specialization in using a fast recovery process to recover the data from mechanical failures.

Our data recovery experts have in-depth knowledge of using appropriate tools, laboratory protocols, and network technologies to keep your data secured while working on the hard drive. Be assured, our hard drive mechanical failure data recovery service will be provided seriously, and our experts will follow all the IT standards and federal regulations.

Our Mechanical Data Recovery Experts Follow This Process:

1. Evaluation– First of all, our experts evaluate the medium using manufacturer hardware and software equipment to identify the failures, possible causes, and estimated recovery outcomes. Once it is evaluated, we provide the estimated quote and timing to you. Once shared, we ask for your approval too. If we get the approval, your media is sent for repair.
2. Repair– After evaluation, our experts attempt to repair or replace the component for accessing the media.
3. Imaging – In this step, our experts create the image of your information to manipulate the data for recovery. If the image is not obtained, we sent the medium back to extra repairs.
4. File system (F5) repair– After imaging, our experts use software and repair the image. Then, we search the image for a file system. If it is found in the file system, we repair the file system and extract the data in files and folders. If not found, then the media is sent for re-imaging.
5. Data validation– Our experts validate the data via automated software and the human processing method to ensure that the media does not have excessive errors. If found any, we sent it back for re-imaging.
6. Data duplication– After data validation, our experts duplicate the recovered data to a device like a hard drive, memory stick, etc. with a copy of the data to review the results.

Note: It is highly recommended that you should not attempt to repair or replace the hard drive if you suspect any of the above mentioned mechanical failures. Doing so without specialized knowledge, clean room, or specific extraction tools can lead you to permanent data loss. We have all the facilities at our center. If you want to learn more about data recovery training as well as data recovery services. In that case, we are providing online hard-drive mechanical failure data recovery training to help you learn more about how to determine mechanical, firmware, and electronic problems.
