Hard Disk Repair and Data Recovery Service PC/Mac Perth

 

If you have had a Computer Hardware failure and your or 's Hard Disk Drive () has failed (“crashed“) the problem maybe severe but may still be recoverable.

Often the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) will give early signs of failure before dying completely. The earlier you act once these sign occur, the higher the chance of NOT losing any data and it not costing too much to .

If you wait until there is a complete disk failure or you keep using your computer, then chances of recovery are much slimmer and the cost to attempt so will be much higher.

5 Tell-Tale Signs your Hard Disk Drive (HDD) is failing and needs replacing ASAP

  1. Slowing Down Computer, Frequent Freezes, Blue Screen Of Death
    These are very unspecific signs that can be caused by a million different things. However, regardless of what the issue behind these symptoms is, it is recommended that you immediately make a backup and get your Computer, PC or laptop checked by The IT Guys (WA) or another suitable professional.
  2. Your PC, Computer, Mac or HDD starts to make strange grinding, clicking  and thrashing noises?
    That could mean your drive is beyond repair. If you're hearing strange noises then act very quickly—you probably don't have much time.
  3. Corrupted Data
    You start to find files that fail to open and are corrupted even though they saved without errors or if files suddenly disappear.
  4. Accumulation Of Bad Sectors
    Bad sectors are areas of the hard drive that do not maintain data integrity. They are automatically masked by the operating system and thus hard to identify, especially if large amounts of the disk are currently in use. If you actually run into bad sectors, however, that certainly is a bad sign
  5. If your HDD is older than 5 years… it is on its way out …read more

    If your Mac, PC or Laptop is 5 years or older, the hard disk drive has a 50% chance of total or partial failure at any moment. We recommend replacing a HDD after 4 years.
