when do you need a data recovery specialist.
Data loss is a common issue that all of us have experienced at some point. Unfortunately, sometimes we lose an important piece of data. In such cases, data loss can be very frustrating, costly, and even disastrous.
A company's most valuable assets are often its digital files and records. They contain the sum of a company's work, including employee and tax records, proprietary technology, as well as software licenses, customer records, and any investments it has. Data loss is not just inconvenient, it's potentially a death sentence for a small business. Imagine not being able to check in on an order's status, getting access to your factory's production software, contacting a customer, or checking whether an invoice has been paid.
This is certainly a frightening scenario, however, in most cases of data loss, the missing data remains on your storage media and can probably be restored even if you can not see it.
In the event that you lose your precious data and you don't have a useful backup, you need to consult a data recovery expert. They are your best shot at getting your lost data recovered. Do not try to recover the data yourself, because the first data recovery attempt is critical, as it provides the best chance of successfully recovering your data. An unsuccessful first attempt can further damage your data. If your hard drive crashed and you hear any clicking or grinding noise, your hard drive could have some physical damage. Do not attempt to retrieve data by using utility software, since continued operation of your hard drive is likely to result in more harm.
how to find a reliable data recovery company.
Hundreds of small services promise data recovery but they are nothing more than intake centers for larger recovery firms. A good indication of their abilities is if they have a cleanroom onsite for repairs, stock the parts needed to fix a variety of drives quickly, if they have strict security protocols in place, and if they can recover data from all sorts of digital storage devices – computer hard drives, SSDs, laptops, RAID arrays, NAS, file server drives, phones, tablets, cameras, flash drives, SD cards, etc.
It is important to check if a data recovery company offers a "free estimation" because you don't want to spend money only to find out if the data is recoverable or not. Data recovery experts will examine your storage media and determine if the data can be recovered, how long it will take, and how much the data recovery would cost. If the data is not recoverable, they will send you your storage media back, and will not charge you any fees.
Along with that, check if a data recovery company has a "no data, no charge" policy, since you don't want to end up paying for unsuccessful data recovery attempts that will not be able to recover any of your data.
It is also important to check if they have a Class 100 cleanroom as a dust free environment is essential for fixing hardware issues such as burned-out motors, damaged platters, or worn out read-write heads.
Having a recommendation can also help in your data recovery decision. It is advised to check Google and Yelp reviews of any data recovery company that you are considering.
