Background

A government photographer working overseas used a LaCie 2big drive to store critical data, including photographs. The drive failed unexpectedly, resulting in the loss of access to this important data. In an attempt to recover the data, the client tried changing the cables, but the drive remained unrecognized, and the data was still inaccessible.

Free Evaluation

After receiving several urgent calls from the client, we took in the LaCie 2big drive for evaluation. Our team promptly reassured the client and explained our data recovery process. An initial assessment revealed that the LaCie 2big drive has failed, it consisted of two internal 4TB SATA drives configured as a RAID 0 stripe set, with a total capacity of 8TB. Both drives were in good health and showed no signs of physical damage.

Data Recovery Process

The recovery began with the successful cloning of both 4TB drives. We then conducted further examinations on the clones, determining the RAID level, stripe size, and other crucial parameters. Next, we created a virtual rebuild of the RAID array to simulate the original configuration. With the virtual RAID in place, our team analyzed the file system's integrity. This thorough process allowed us to identify and resolve any issues stemming from the RAID failure.

We kept the client informed throughout the recovery, providing updates and significant developments. This ongoing communication helped reduce the client's anxiety and bolster their confidence in our data recovery capabilities.

Conclusion

We successfully recovered all the data. The final step involved verifying the health of the recovered data. The precise reconstruction of the RAID parameters confirmed the data integrity to be 100%, ensuring the client received their complete data back.

Samsung SSD 1TB Data Recovery

 

Samsung SSD Data Recovery Case Study

 

Make: Samsung

Model: MZ-77E1T0

Capacity: 1TB

Interface: 3.5 SATA

Failure: Unstable Controller, Bad Sectors

Symptoms: Freezes on Read

Samsung 1TB SSD - Front

 

Background

The Samsung SSD was used laptop, acting as the primary storage device. One day, the user                  experienced a sudden inability to load the operating system, rendering the laptop unusable. With no  access to their crucial data, the user initially sought help from a local computer repair shop.                However, the shop's simple recovery tools proved ineffective, as they could not read the SSD at all.    Faced with the prospect of permanent data loss, the user turned to our specialized data recovery services

 

Free Evaluation

Upon receiving the SSD, our expert team conducted a free evaluation to diagnose the problem.          Our initial analysis revealed significant issues with reading the user's data, primarily due to                   bad sectors and a generally slow read speed. The drive's condition was determined to be unstable,   with the controller failing to manage data efficiently. The evaluation underscored the complexity of   the task ahead, but our team was committed to recovering the user’s valuable information.

 

Data Recovery Process

Armed with the diagnosis, we proceeded with the data recovery process using the PC3000 tool.               Our strategy began by creating data structures to map out the user’s data, prioritizing the most          critical files. The recovery was further complicated by the need to frequently power cycle the SSD, as it would become unresponsive due to the extensive bad sectors.

The meticulous process involved carefully cloning all critical data, ensuring that each bit of                    information was securely copied before moving on. Following the successful recovery of essential        files, we aimed to create a complete clone of the drive. Despite the slow pace dictated by the drive’s  poor condition, our team persisted, meticulously working through the bad sectors to achieve a           full data clone.

  

Conclusion

In the end, our persistent efforts paid off. All user data, including critical documents and files,            was successfully recovered. Although the process was painstakingly slow due to the                              SSD's degraded state, our team’s expertise and careful handling ensured a successful recovery.

Failure: Read problems, bad blocks

Symptoms: Data inaccessible, USB hard drive hangs on read

 

Free Evaluation

Our comprehensive evaluation service for the G drive was provided with results provided within 2 to 12 hours. During this period, we identified significant data accessibility issues, primarily attributed to bad sectors on the drive. This meticulous assessment allows us to pinpoint the exact causes of the failures, ensuring a targeted approach in our data recovery process.

 

Data Recovery Process

For the data recovery, we employed the advanced PC3000 technology. Given the SED lock on the drive, special procedures are necessary to unlock the firmware. This allows us to gain control and create a head map, which is crucial for bypassing the bad sectors.

The read-write heads of the drive were still functional, eliminating the need for a firmware unlock. Our team initiated a clone of the critical user data followed by a comprehensive full clone. This method ensures that the integrity of the data is preserved during the recovery process, providing the best chance for a successful outcome.

Throughout this process, our expert technicians maintained the highest standards of precision and care. The use of cutting-edge technology combined with our extensive experience in data recovery allowed us to navigate the complexities of this hard drive.

 

Conclusion

At our state-of-the-art data recovery lab in London, we successfully recovered all user data from the compromised drive. This was achieved through a series of meticulous steps including cloning the drive, adjusting the file system, and rebuilding the data structures.
