Hard Drive Recovery
is what we do best. The main cause of
catastrophic data loss can often be traced
directly to a physical hard drive crash.
Hard drive recovery and hard drive
repair is a top priority of
ongoing R&D by our data recovery
Engineers.
If your drive is making clicking sounds
or other strange noises, do NOT
try any additional recovery attempts.
A hard drive continuously run while in
a degraded state can lead to platter
damage, possibly making recovery impossible.

DTI Data knows how important your
data is to you; we strive
to improve our techniques each
and every day to effectively
recover data from any
physically or mechanically
malfunctioning hard disk drive.
DTI Data's engineers collaborate
with our research and
development team to keep current
with recent changes in hard
drive technology and recovery techniques. Often our team
develops new recovery methods
prior new storage releases to the general public.
Hard Drive Repair:
In order to recover the data on the hard drive there is an area on the platters that must be read in order for any data to be recovered from the defective drive. The area on disk that is crucial to drive functions is called the System Area. The following is a brief explanation of what the System Area is and why it is important.
The System Area is a reserved space dedicated to hard drive's own needs, such as: storing SMART logs, defect list at time of manufacturing, defect reallocation tables (grown defect list), program code (overlays), Max LBA (drives total size), head maps, basically all the information the drive needs to operate. Data on a hard drive is encoded several times to make sure the data is read correctly.
There is no absolute positive or negative the data is magnetic so the drive needs to verify the proximity of the positive or negative side of the pole.
The EEPROM chip located on the PCB (printed circuit board) contains only a small part of the firmware; its primary role is to spin up the spindle and un-park heads so the drive can read the remainder of the firmware from the Service Area of the platters.
The System Area is not accessible with standard ATA commands; it cannot be read or written with any software because the protocol is vendor and drive family-unique.
Furthermore, hard drive vendors do not disclose any information about their hard drive System Area structure or how to access it at all.
Rest assured we have decades of experience in hard drive repair and recovery of data on-disk.
We want to make this stressful
time as pleasant as possible.
After receiving your hard drive
we will enter your details into
our database and assign it a
unique case number. We will then
inform you that we have
received your hard drive
with details on logging into the
ticketing system to track the progress of your recovery. An
engineer will walk you
through every step of the
data recovery process.
Hard Drive Recovery Costs
DTI Data does not charge a diagnostic fee
for a single hard drive recovery. We
do not wish to charge for telling
you what you already know, we also
do not charge if your data is not
recovered. Our hard drive
recovery guarantee should
put you at ease, knowing we will
not charge unless we consider 100%
of your data recovered*. We only get
paid if we do our job. Typically,
turnaround time is between 2 and 5 days
upon receiving the drive, we also
have expedite service available if
needed. Our main priority at all
times is your data.
