FAQ - File Savers Data Recovery

Question 1

Can You Recover Data Every Time...From Every Device?

Accepted Answer

That's kind of like asking if a doctor can save every person that comes into the hospital. Unfortunately, most of the devices we receive are physically broken, mechanically failed, crashed or corrupted. The truth is.....the best data recovery companies in the world are only successfully recovering about 80% to 85% of the drives they receive. Some companies say they recover 97%. This is a true number but it only represents a certain demographic such as hard drives without scratched platters, hard

Question 2

What would make a hard drive impossible to recover?

Accepted Answer

There are actually several things that can make a hard drive impossible to recover but the most common is something we call rotational scoring. Rotational scoring is physical scratches caused by the read/write heads making contact with the disk platters during operation.

The cause is the heads of the hard drive making direct contact with the platter s

The truth is, most drives that are scored can't be recovered. Almost all drives that are scored have one common symptom, clicking. Some makes and models will click

Why Can't Data Be Recovered From Most Hard Drives With Scratched Platters?

Accepted Answer

Some people ask, can't you just take the platters out and read them? The answer is no.... There is no device made that can read the platters of a hard drive. Each HDD contains drive specific firmware / software that make it operational and also translates physical sectors into logical sectors. Hard drives write data using an electromagnetic algorithm that is different from hard drive to hard drive. Data recovery requires physical repair of the device using identical donor parts taken from a driv

Question 5

What Happens If You Can't Recover My Data?
