In today’s digital world, information has decisive significance. Vast amounts of sensitive data are being processed daily. There are various methods that are used to protect the privacy and confidentiality of this data. However, these ways are employed when the files are actively used. After some time, some of the documents become unneeded. These files…
DetailsData loss is an unexpected situation that can occur on the media device in a moment. There are many data storage maintenance practices that help users to prevent any issues. Nevertheless, there are still unforeseen problems that can result in file inaccessibility. There are various causes of data loss, including accidental deletion, power surge, malware,…
DetailsHard drives are the most common storage media in desktops, laptops, and servers. Technologies for the production of hard drives are constantly evolving, the density of disks is rising, and the speed is increasing. Hard drives are constantly improving in their level of durability and reliability, but the mechanics and electronics are still susceptible to…
DetailsPower failure is one of the most frequent and unanticipated causes of hard disk drive failure. A power surge can result in a variety of losses on a hard disk, including problems with the spindle motor, head unit, or electronics board. A hard disk may act differently after a malfunction. Some drives may quit functioning…
DetailsFlooding causes serious damage to computer systems and can result in significant data loss. Modern systems are very sensitive to moisture and contamination. Water damage impacts the mechanical and electronic components of hard drives and other storage devices. It should be noted that damage to HDDs, SSDs, etc., and devices from liquid contact becomes more…
DetailsLike any other type of media storage, a hard drive is not error-free, and data loss is common for various reasons. Considering the problems of hard drives, it is necessary to mention that data loss is often accompanied by physical damage to the drive. If the media hardware is fully functional, the loss of information,…
DetailsThe logical malfunction is damage to an arbitrary number of sectors on the hard drive to the point where their reading by the heads in the normal mode of the hard disk becomes impossible. Another scenario is when the surface of the device degrades to a state where reading sectors is possible, but it is…
DetailsMagnetic heads are used to read information from hard disk drive’s magnetic platters. Damage to the reading elements of the hard disk is a reasonably common malfunction. During the operation of the disk, the heads are supported on rotating disks by the oncoming airflow. Therefore, even a small impact or a fall during reading is…
DetailsThe reliability of Apple computers and laptops is considered relatively high. But even high-quality technology does not prevent data loss. Because of errors, it is sometimes necessary to restore a Mac OS hard drive containing videos, photos, or work projects. Crucial data can be accessed in several ways, depending on the problem that caused their…
