Wedding photography is an important aspect of any wedding celebration. It captures the special moments and memories that will be cherished for a lifetime. However, what happens when those precious photos are lost?
In this case, a customer from a video studio in New York experienced the unfortunate loss of 20 different wedding video files stored on their LaCie d2 10 TB external hard drive. Let’s take a closer look at how our data recovery services were able to recover these files successfully and the importance of backing up wedding photos.
Background of Failed LaCie d2 Professional Drive
A video studio in New York was working on several wedding projects and stored all its video files on a LaCie d2 external hard drive. The studio had completed 20 different weddings and had all its video files neatly organized on the LaCie d2.
However, one day, when they went to mount the external hard drive to their computer, it kept crashing. The studio was unable to access any of the video files and feared that all their hard work had been lost.
They had to deliver the wedding videos to their clients on a tight deadline, and this unexpected issue was causing a lot of stress and panic. The studio should find emergency data recovery services in New York to recover their valuable video files.
After some quick research, they found our data recovery company, which specializes in recovering data from LaCie external hard drives.

Evaluation Process of the LaCie d2 External Hard Drive
Our team of data recovery experts conducted a thorough evaluation of the LaCie d2 10 TB external hard drive. The hard drive was in good physical condition, but it could not be mounted onto any computer without crashing.
The LaCie d2 had an IronWolf Pro hard drive inside. After further investigation, we discovered that it had a bad sector, which was causing the hard drive to malfunction.
A bad sector is a damaged area on a hard drive where information cannot be stored or retrieved. It can occur due to physical damage or logical errors in the hard drive’s file system.
In this case, the bad sector caused the LaCie d2 external hard drive to crash when mounted onto a computer. Our comprehensive evaluation process helped us identify the issue and determine a solution for data recovery.
After the evaluation, we provided the studio with a detailed report of our findings and a quote for data recovery. The studio was relieved to know that their data could be recovered, and they approved the quote.
We assured them of our 99% success rate in recovering data from LaCie external hard drives and began the recovery process immediately.
