IBM Deskstar hard disks are no different from any other drive in so much as
they are prone to all the usual problems suffered by hard disks. However, they
are notorious for developing serious mechanical faults, the symptoms of which
are a regular "scratch-click, scratch-click, scratch-click" noise coming from
the hard disk. Once this has happened the drive will frequently not be
recognised in the BIOS and it is important to power the drive down immediately
and not
Laptop and notebook computers also make up an ever increasing percentage of the
computer population. Regardless of the manufacturer of the laptop or notebook,
its hard disk will nearly always be either an IBM Travelstar, Hitachi DK23,
Fujitsu or Toshiba hard drive.
All laptop hard disks are prone to the same problems as their desktop
counterparts, but because of their smaller size and greater density they are
uniquely prone to a few others also. Typical data loss situations that arise
with laptops are:
-
Impact damage eg. the laptop is dropped or sat on
-
Inaccessible drives and partitions
-
Virus attack
-
Hard disk component failure
-
Hard disk crashes
-
Fire, water, coffee and other liquid damage
-
Media surface contamination and damage
-
Accidental reformatting of partitions
-
Accidental deletion of data
Data Recovery Direct has extensive knowledge of all laptop drives and are able
to recover data from them in almost all situations, regardless of whether the
failures are logical, electrical or mechanical. By the very fact that laptop
drives are used in mobile devices, they also suffer from bad sectors.
