Data recovery from physically damaged
HDDs is what Data Compass designed for.
Data recovery from HDDs with severe multiple BAD sectors, which
appear because of platter surface scratch or malfunction or
instability of the magnetic head assembly (MHA).
Data recovery from HDDs that start to produce "clicking" sounds,
which may be caused by corruption of sector servo labels or a MHA
malfunction. If some heads or surfaces are damaged it is possible
(before installation of MHA replacement) to create a copy of data
using the remaining good surfaces or drive heads.
Logical analysis of FAT,NTFS,HFS,HFX,HFS+,EXT2,EXT3 file systems in
the software complex allows data recovery from all brands of hard
drives and flash drives in cases, when the drives are detected in
the bios and only logical data structure is corrupted.
Recover undetected drives: WD ROYL firmware loading from either
primary head or secondary head, you don't need to change head when
there's head damage but to recover the data directly with Data
Compass; Hitachi firmware Emulation is optimized by clicking on the
"auto loading" and then the program will detect the HDD info
automatically and load the corresponding firmware resources to
restore the drive and then recover the data directly;
When used with malfunctioning drives, Data Compass complex often
allows selective extraction of necessary data to your customers
without reading all data from a drive ("recover data by file"
without creating a complete disk image) saving a lot of time. In
some cases, when drive malfunctions, they may cause constant
self-damages (like scratches on disks or unstable MHA), these are
the only means to recover the lost data from such kind of patient
drives. With the ShadowDisk technology adopted, users need not to
worry about the drive degradation problem.
