Hard Disk Failure Is Not The End

Hard disk is a very complex hardware piece ,combination of circuit board , platter ,media head assembler and spindle motor. But when things not work accordingly then hard disk failure occur. And it is very important to find out what the actual problem is before attempting hard drive recovery.

Major Components in hard disk:

The Platters: Platters are actual disk which has magnetic coating in it. It is made of aluminum alloy and it is the actual part where data get stored.

The Spindle Motor: The other most important component upon which platter is mounted is spindle motor .Spindle motor rotates platter at constant Revolution Per Minute ranging from 3,600 to 7200 RPM .

The Read/Write Heads: Read/Write head read and write data to the platters .It is most crucial component present in the hard drive. When platter spin it creates pressure which lifts the head and the gap between head and platter is so minute that even a small dust particle can do severe damage.

The Head Actuators: All the heads available in the hard drive are attached to actuator. It is only the actuator which moves the head over the platter .

If above mentioned any device does not work properly then it can become one of the reason for hard disk failure. We can classify hard disk failure into two types:

Logical failure: This type of problem comes into existence when file system has some issues. Like when hard drive is properly working but because of some reasons files are not accessible. It can be due to deletion of files accidentally or intentionally or because of virus attack.

Physical failure: This type of problem arises when hard drive does not spin properly ,unable to read and creates noise. Spinning disk available in the hard disk sometimes creates problem because of which hard disk does not able to spin properly. During this condition user will hear harsh noise instead of normal noise. A user should listen hard disk properly to recognize the problem .Any abnormal noise means that there is some problem in hard disk and it requires hard disk recovery service to get back in normal working state.

This type of cases require hard disk recovery services.Hard drive recovery is carried out in class 100 clean room in which temperature is maintained and the environment is kept free from dust. Class 100 clean room is important because during the transplantation of head. Experts take new hard disk of same parameter and then transplant the new head and align it properly. Here alignment means maintaining the gap of .5 microns between head and platter for read and write .
