How to Evaluate the Hard Drive

Data is the most important thing for professional as well as individual users and it is very essential to save them otherwise it may destroy your business. According the statistics of various researches, almost half of data loss is occurs only due to hard drive crash.

So, as a safeguard, you can prevent your half of data loss only by preventing hard drive crash. To prevent it, it is most important to know that what are the reasons of hard drive crash and how can you prevent it.

Basically, hard drives can undergo one of the two circumstances of failure:

  1. Expected ones, when some failure modes like aging and mechanical wear, happen by and by over time. In these situations, when the temperature of the drive increases, it may cause hard drive crash.
  2. Unexpected ones, when some other failures can occur unexpectedly and suddenly like and electronic component failing.

Any of these situations, may cause hard drive crash and finally data loss. To prevent it, you need for hard drive evaluation.

Hard Drive Evaluation:

Hard drive evaluation is the process of monitoring the hard drive performance. In this process, user monitors that drive temperature, processing speed and uses of hard drive. It is a pre crash process to keep your hard drive from safe.

The technology used for hard drive is known as S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology). This is the hard drive monitoring system for hard drives to identify and report on several indicators of dependability, in expect of anticipating failures.

Hard drive evaluation is generally done with the help of special data recovery software based on S.M.A.R.T. technology. These software works as an “early warning system” for avoiding hard drive problems. These software monitor the hard drive performance and consider whether the hard drive is working normally or not. The software provides the complete information about different drive parameters like Temperature, spin-up time and head flying height and compares them to the entry value below/above which the drive can fail.

Though, these software works in most of the conditions, but in case when they fail to warn you or after warning you don’t shut down your system, a hard drive crash may occur and can cause the serious data loss. In these situation of data loss, you shouldn’t further use your computer. The hard drive recovery in these circumstances is possible only through data recovery services.

Data Recovery Tool- Method to Avoid complication

You would be very happy to come to know that you can recover you data with the help of data recovery tools. There are several problems that can occur due to data loss and you can solve them using data recovery software.

How to get rid of unnecessary complications?

To avoid the complications of data loss, you need to use data recovery tool that will ease your problem. After a data loss event, if you still wish to recover your important data, data recovery will help you to get your all the data back.
This is most important and widely used data recovery solution from computer users because:

  • It has more chances of recovery.
  • It is easy and cheaper process as compared to other methods.
  • Recovery process is fast and no professional help is required.
  • It can recover data in all scenarios like accidental deletion, virus attack, partition deletion and other software or hardware malfunctions.

Along with these reasons, there are some horror stories also that make the data recovery essential.

The most important thing about data recovery tool is that it can be used without any prior technical knowledge. These tools use advanced searching methods that can locate the lost data no matter how old the data loss is.

Previously, data recovery was very complicated process and it was very costly also, so there were many organizations and individual user who had lost their data. But after inventing the advanced data recovery software techniques it becomes much unsophisticated process.

The data recovery tool may different from operating system to operating system or file system to file system. So before purchasing a data recovery software, it is more significant to make sure that you will be able to recover data in your case with the software you are going to purchase.

There is a big competition in data recovery software market and there are numerous software development companies. Among these companies, Stellar Information Systems Ltd is a leading company that provides data recovery software solutions from all operating system including Windows, Mac, UNIX, Linux, and Novell and their file systems such as FAT, NTFS, HFS, HFS+, UFS, VxFS, Ext2, Ext3, NSS and NWFS.

How to Recover Deleted files?

In this digital age, all of us are using computers for a lot of purposes. It is difficult to imagine life without computers. We are addicted to computers and their multi purpose capabilities.

There is another method of file deletion by using Shift+Delete keys. You may feel that the file has been permanently deleted from your system. You may not be aware that the file can be recovered using undeletion feature.

This is a standard feature on most of the file systems but some file systems may not support undeletion. Even though this is a helpful feature it poses a security risk as laypersons will not be aware of this feature.

There are instances when undeletion process can not be initiated. When the file system or the storage media has been severely corrupted or damaged you will need the help of file recovery software to repair the damage in your file system.
