			<h2>FACTS & MYTHS about DATA RECOVERY</h2>		
			<h2>Do you really need a clean room to recover data from a hard drive?</h2>		
			<h2>Never put your hard drive in the freezer </h2>		
			<h2>Hard drive clicking are the heads damaged</h2>		
		<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong>In order to recover data it must be done in a clean room. This is based on what is called a Level 3 repair. Where the hard drive must be repaired in a dust free environment. </strong><strong>If the cover is removed from the hard drive for a head, platter or motor replacement.</strong></p><p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong>The biggest data recovery “ MYTH “ is based on a </strong><strong>the</strong><strong> false </strong><strong>premise</strong><strong> that all data from hard drives must be recovered </strong><strong>in a dust free environment for the successful recovery of your data, from the defective hard drive. </strong></p><p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong> Experience has shown about 70% of all bad hard drives can be successfully recovered without the need for level-3 ("which is very expensive to say the least") repair in a clean room.</strong></p><p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong> If your drive wasn’t dropped, your  chances for data recovery increase to about an 85%.<img src="https://bonelltechnologies.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/ss-324-pcr-214x300.jpg" alt="" width="214" height="300" /></strong></p><p style="padding-left: 40px; text-align: center;"><strong>Portable Clean Room</strong></p><p>Do you remember hearing this from the so called data recovery experts on the internet If your hard drive won’t spin-up, put it in the freezer for about an hour or two or maybe just overnight, and then <i><b>Whamo ... </b></i>it will spin-up. Really?</p><p>The chances of this working successfully are about zero to nil and then again if it did it would be a very short time before it died doing more damage to the hard drive which would end up being a Level 3 repair. The cover of your hard drive is removed and the platters of your hard drive must be inspected and in a clean room, costing you a lot of grief and dollars if the data was really important to you.</p><p>If your hard drive is overheating putting it in the freezer is not going to cure the problem its just going to add to the problem. Once the drive is taken out of the freezer condensation begins to build up on the platters. The condensation that built up on your platters will more than likely drip down on to your PCB board containing all the electronic chips that drive depends on to power up the drive control the speed of the platters and most important of all reading the data on your drive. </p><p><img src="https://bonelltechnologies.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Condensation-300x164.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="164" /></p><h6 style="text-align: center;"><em>Condensation build - up on the platters</em></h6><p style="text-align: left; padding-left: 40px;">If your hard drive is clicking does it mean that it has a defective head or heads ? No it doesn’t necessarily mean that the head(s) are damaged. The problem can be related to the following :</p><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>corrupt firmware modules</li><li>PCB components on the board itself</li><li>a weak power supply</li><li>loose connections</li><li>motherboard not supplying enough power burnt chips on board.</li></ul></li></ul></li></ul></li></ul><p style="padding-left: 40px;">There are quite a few different clicking sounds that originate from a hard drive. And these clicking sounds can be caused from a variety of problems depending on the type of hard drive you have. Western Digital ,Seagate, for instance some Western Digital hard drives have a clinking sound which could be caused by a bad PCB board,</p><p style="padding-left: 40px;">Some Seagate drives depending on their firmware version will cause a clicking sound.</p><p style="padding-left: 40px;">     Actuator Arm</p><p style="padding-left: 40px;"><img src="https://bonelltechnologies.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/hdd-details-300x280.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="280" /></p><p style="padding-left: 40px;"> </p>		
			<h2>Hitting or banging on a dead A hard drive can bring it to life </h2>		
		<p style="padding-left: 40px;">According to a top data recovery company on the U.S west coast approximately 25-30% of clicking that is heard in hard drives are usually caused by sticking heads or scratched platters. And that is about what we have encountered.</p><p style="padding-left: 40px;"><img src="https://bonelltechnologies.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/download-1-1.jpg" alt="" width="276" height="183" />If the clicking is due to damaged heads, the heads can sometimes  be replaced providing a full recovery (as seen in the photo above). Head replacements are possible when we already have donor parts in stock, or the parts are not too expensive, and the drive doesn’t appear to have significant platter damage.</p><p style="padding-left: 40px;">In cases where the donor parts exceed our flat rate for recovery, we may give you the option of providing or paying for the required donor part (which may cost $100-$250+). If we cannot swap the heads due to the high cost, we offer our customers the option of a partial recovery. For example, if the drive has ten heads and one is bad, we may be able to disable the bad head in the drive’s firmware (safe, non-destructive, non-invasive, and possible for most model hard drives) and recover around 90% of the data.</p>
