Hi All,

What are the common causes for faults in hard drives?
Heads, PCB, ETC...

That question will help me to understand (at least to try..) the "Data Recovery World".


Many Thanks!

- Mecanical problems

The manufacturers.

have to agree on this one the manufacturers are the problem

because produce a lot cheaper now.

and rush them out of the factory with out full soak test on the drive.

who are the worse in companys that make these drives.

me personel i think seagate is the worse now

1)spindle motor problems

2)firmware problems

3)headstack problems

I have to admit that I don't exactly hate the manufacturers; without them we would not be needed!

true like end of the day your going to use something everyday or you dont look after it

then its going to break down.

but some factory like seagate have gone downhill

the problem now is bigger the drive is it more likely going to fail
