External storage devices are now common place as an extra storage method, enabling users to store vast amounts of data and saving space on the computer or as a handy backup method for data stored elsewhere.
The main problem with this type of storage is that it is portable and therefore at risk of being damaged from knocks or drops.
Kingdom Data Recovery can recover data from all the following types of external storage:
Most external devices with directly attached connections usually have a standard form factor hard drive securely installed inside the enclosure. Unfortunately this type of drive is not designed to be moved around a lot due to the mechanical parts inside which does mean more often than not you can experience issues accessing your data. KDR deals with a lot of external devices with the most common issues being dropped, knocked and liquid damage.
Also known as Pen Drives, Memory Sticks and Dongles. This type of storage is more robust that the more traditional form factor hard drive however it is still prone to damage. KDR specialise in recovery from flash devices, recovering data from bent, snapped and flash devices that are no longer unrecognised by the computer.
This is fast becoming the most popular method of storage for data. NAS storage usually consists of multiple hard drives that span the data across themselves. This type of storage device usually runs its own software (usually Linux) and can be accessed by multiple computers on your network.
Most NAS devices use the traditional form factor hard drives and as a result can be prone to the same issues. As the data is saved over multiple drives the process of recovering data can be more complicated: however, KDR have experience recovering data from system crashes, physical faults and NAS device failures.
