Earthquake Damaged My Laptop but Efficient Data Recovery Service Provider Saved My Data

It is very rightly said that we cannot control natural disasters like earthquakes, fire, etc but we can prepare ourselves in a way that we can salvage the loss. In order to overcome the physical loss, almost all of us take the insurance of our various belongings like houses, offices, laptops, etc but how many of us take measures to recover data saved on our laptop or desktop, very few of us, right! Having insurance of our laptops and desktops we can easily overcome the financial loss but what about our precious data which was stored on it. Well, don’t panic! To overcome data loss which has occurred due to physical damage of your laptop or desktop, you have to opt for an efficient third-party data recovery service provider. These service providers recover data irrespective to the reason of physical damage and I learnt deeply about this fact after encountering a devastating situation of data loss.

Let me narrate the entire episode in detail. After completing my official work in my home, I put the laptop on my study table and went to have dinner. While we were having our dinner, we all experienced an earthquake. The intensity of earthquake was so high that everything that was on the dining table started dropping. We rushed outside with our kids and by the mean time the earthquake stopped. Thank God! There was no harm to human lives from this earthquake as well as no large property loss occurred except some small house hold things and for me my precious laptop. Due to the earthquake my laptop dropped from the study table and when I switched it on, it didn’t start except some grinding sound started coming out of it.

Since, I have heard about data recovery services somewhere so, I started searching out an efficient data recovery service provider through my wife’s laptop. The search gave me good result as there are third-party service providers which recover the data after physical damage of hard disk present. One of the best data recovery service providers which I found was Stellar Data Recovery. I contacted there nearby branch for service and they advised me to come to their office for free consultation of hard disk. I went there and submitted my laptop and as per their promise they gave me free consultation and told me that the read/write head of my hard disk is damaged and to repair it they need to keep the laptop with them.

I submitted my laptop to them and after few days a call to collect my laptop came from Stellar. I collected my repaired laptop with entire data intact and gave them their required fees. Some other reasons for trusting Stellar as data recovery service provider was its No Data No Charge policy and CLASS 100 Clean Room (an environment required for exposing the hard disk). Since, I am satisfied by the service of Stellar, so I recommend everyone to go for this service provider if your hard disk is damaged physically.

Understand Whether You Require Data Recovery Software or Data Recovery Service

Data recovery services and software both are there to get back your lost data but there is a vast difference between these two. To know what you need, you have to understand respective reasons of data loss.

Since, computers with precious data are asset to an organization and an individual both thus safeguarding them should be the major concern for any of its user. Despite of taking various measures to salvage data there are situations when you lose your crucial information or data. To handle such situation and get back data there are third-party data recovery software and services available. You can avail data recovery service or use data recovery software according to your need. Below mentioned are separate lists of causes of data loss which make you understand when you should opt for data recovery software and when go for data recovery service:

  • Logical corruption like file system corruption, operating system damage, virus infection to the hard disk of computer, accidental deletion of file/s or folder/s, unwanted formatting of hard disk, and various other software bugs which lead to data loss or inaccessibility of data call for data recovery software. Since, data recovery software are easily usable tools thus you do not require any help of an expert to perform data recovery in case of any of the aforementioned scenarios. You just need to install the software and start using it as per the instructions to recover your data.
  • Physical damage to the hard disk of your computer generates the need to opt for an efficient data recovery service. The hard disk of your computer can get physically damaged due to various reasons some of which include dropping, power surge, natural disasters like fire, flood, earthquake, etc. Unlike data recovery software, one is not at all recommended to try to fix the problems by him/herself when the hard disk is damaged physically. The reason for this is when you try to fix the physical damage of your hard disk then for sure you will expose it and ‘exposing hard disk in normal room environment is strictly prohibited’ as it increases the problem rather than fixing the issue. So, in this case where your hard disk is damaged physically, you are required to contact data recovery service provider immediately.

One of the advanced and authentic data recovery service providers is Stellar Data Recovery. Stellar is in the field of data recovery services and software since 1993 and has its branches across the globe. Stellar has special CLASS 100 Clean Room environment which is required to open the hard disk and has experienced data recovery engineers which rectify the issue and recover your data irrespective to the cause of physical damage.
