Hard Disk Recovery

Data recovery from hard disk drives is one of the most technically advanced operations performed by computer data recovery engineers. Much of the work involves highly skilled engineers that have engineering knowledge of how a hard disk functions. Not only mechanically, but electronically and logically.

There are many situations where an engineer will examine a hard disk then find it has to be completely disassembled and rebuilt with new parts to replace the worn parts. This involves opening the drive in a clean room environment.

Some drives suffer from Firmware corruption so the engineer will need to know how the individual manufacturer (and in many cases specific model ranges) store the firmware on the drive. In most cases this area is not accessible to the end-user so specialist equipment is needed to access the firmware on hard disks.

Also, a drive may be suffering from an electronics problem which will require specialist techniques as many modern hard disks use unique ROM content on their drives which means that the electronics board can not be replaced and the old one will need to be repaired, or the engineer will need to rebuild a ROM manually to suit the drive.

Data recovery from Toshiba Hybrid Drives.

Data Recovery from Toshiba Hybrid Drives. After months of research we have finally cracked the Toshiba Hybrid SSD problems. Searching through reams of code resulted with a list of commands that enables us to manipulate the firmware on the SSD-side of these drives. Codes to modify the hard disk side are well known throughout the DR trade, but problems with Hybrid drives usually result with unrecoverable drives. For MJM Data Recovery that is no longer the case, we are are able to recover data from these drives that usually show as three types of failure. The drive does not spin. The drive spins but hangs the computer The drive spins and give ID but data can not be accessed. The problem is determined by the symptoms, but we can reset SMART for the SSD-side of the drive, reset SSD-side cache and when necessary completely reset the NAND. We recover for end users, IT companies and other Data Recovery companies. For more information please see this Data Recovery - Toshiba Hyb...
