Unfortunately I dropped my external hard drive. My Passport shows 2.36 TB data on it and the folder names, but when tried to open it says 0 data. Can it be retrieved and how much might it cost. Thanks
Dropping a storage drive may cause your complete flash drive to become corrupt or unresponsive or RAW. As in result of dropping a drive, the impact on that drive may occur any type of physical damage to the drive which can make the drive unreadable.
Basically, there are 2 types of damages that can happen to any storage drive & leads to a data loss situation:
- Logical Damage
- Physical Damage
Logical damage or logical errors are like corruption, formatting, lost partitions, accidentally deletion or unresponsiveness of drive whereas physical damages are like loss of data due to breakage, fire, water etc.
If you lost your data due to logical damage then there are 99% chances that your data can be recovered easily with the help of a data recovery software. Here, I will recommend you to try Stellar Data Recovery Professional Software.
Secondly, if your data has been lost due to any physical damage or your drive has been broken, in that case, you don’t need a data recovery software, in fact, you need a data recovery service provider who are well equipped with all the tools & techniques to take out all your data from that physically damaged drive.
You can search for a local data recovery service provider or else you can also contact Stellar Data Recovery customer support.
