Overview on Seagate hard drive data recovery

Seagate is one of the most popular storage device suppliers, and Seagate hard disks and external hard disks are widely used by customers across the globe. Seagate disks usually come with fast speed and huge capacity so that users can store large amount of data such as photos, music, videos, games, documents, and so on. However, your Seagate hard drive might bring about problems such as data loss. You might be wondering what are causing data loss issues? Causes can be roughly divided into two types: logical failure and physical damage. Logical causes are quite common to most users, such as accidental deletion, empty Recycle Bin, formatting partition, RAW drive, system crash, drive partition missing and so on, while physical damage might be caused by dropping, shocking, overheating, water damage, firmware damage, severe bad sectors, heads fail to work, etc.

Is it possible to perform hard drive data recovery? Yes, in many situations, hard drive recovery is workable, and you can complete it on your own. Deleted or formatted files still occupy disk space after they get lost and they keep staying on your disk until they are overwritten. System marks disk space taken by deleted data as Free so as to store new data. Such short stay of lost files provides opportunities for data recovery. Hard drive recovery software can scan disk sector by sector and recognize recoverable files for you. However, if your hard drive gets physical damages, recovery software cannot work, and you need to send the drive to a professional data recovery company.
