Desktop External Hard Drive Recovery

Although not as portable as a 2.5” external hard drive, desktop hard drives do offer more storage capacity for your money. For this reason, they are very popular with home users who have a large collection of movies, MP3s and pictures. Professional photographers and video makers use these often due to the large file sizes they work with. Desktop external hard drives are not as robust as 2.5” portable hard drives. Instead they use a standard 3.5” desktop computer hard drive, these are not designed to be moved around.

The most common issue we find with this type of portable hard drive is that they have been dropped or knocked which typically results in faults occurring.

Common symptoms are:

• Buzzing noise and hard drive not spinning. This can be a seized spindle bearing.
• Clicking or knocking noise. This is usually the read/write heads have been damaged and will require replacing.
• Slow performance, unable to access data. This is usually the beginning of media failure, the heads on the drive are weak or there is platter damage.
