Data Recovery Experts

Hard drives can crash for many reasons, but one of the most common causes is a voltage change. It can be a sudden dip or spike in the mains voltage, and this in turn can be caused by several things, one of the main causes being an electrical storm. It can certainly occur as a result of Eskom cutting power, and we have recently seen several hard drives that have failed as a direct result of this. There are other causes of course, things like a hard drive component failing, media surface contamination, virus related data corruption or loss, or even accidental deletion of data by yourself. In any of these cases there is a good chance of data recovery experts being able to recover all or most of your lost data. Data Recovery Experts such as Intratec have all the latest equipment and software to make hard drive recovery not only possible, but probable.

If you happen to have been the victim of a hard drive failure, it is very important to record as much as you possible can about the circumstances leading up to that failure. If you've noticed the computer making funny noises recently, record it. If you spilt a cup of coffee over your laptop, record it. If there was a thunderstorm in the area, or if there was an Eskom power cut, make sure that you have kept a note of it, because all of this information is valuable to our data recovery experts when they are assessing the cause of the failure. Data recovery experts rely on as much information as possible - the more you give them, the better the chances of a full recovery.
