shenalone Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 Recently one of my harddisk suddenly slow down and then it can't read. Google on harddisk recovery and it quite expensive to recover it. Thinking to let go of those memories or get those memories back. In the harddisk are some of my family trip photos.

Guest Curious Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 It depends on how much you value it. Now you know the range of the service fee. Did you find it worth? If you find it too expensive, it might not be that important to you. I feel it might feel better that you regret repairing it because money can be earned back later, but photos and data will be gone forever.

shenalone Posted September 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 At first thought I was like I need to get it back then 2nd thought after readings quite a few reviews on some recoverer it sounds quite sketchy the tactics they use. Like iif I let them check the harddisk I don't use their service they wipe your memories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve5380 Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 Is the failed hard drive installed in your computer, or is it an external one? Can you detect any mechanical failure, like noises when it tries to read? A drive that does not respond at all may be mechanically intact but have some software, logic problems. But the fact that your drive first started to slow down may point to increased read errors due to some mechanical problems. In any case, before you give up on it, you yourself could try to use some data recovery software programs, like "Disk Drill". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Starbright Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 Before you send in for recovery extraction, suggest you test the portable hard disk cable and the USB port of your laptop. Sometimes it can be just a simple fix. The last data extraction I did cost $150 a few years ago and I had to buy a new portable hard disk as well. Suggest you get a portable SSD this time for greater stability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shenalone Posted September 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 It all happen too fast, when my computer detected it slows down is like the last day it's alive, when I off my com and on again it's unable to read already. It's a internal drive. It can still run and all but just can't find any files. Have tried using stellar recovery but also cannot detect anything.

Not the one you boot from and not the one with the operating system. You may not have anything to lose trying other recovery programs, to see if you can get from them some diagnosis of the problem.

Take out your internal harddisk, and replace it with a new one. Buy a caddy for your old harddisk and than connect it externally thru USB to retrieve your data. Harddisk itself is just a storage medium, unless you format it or overloaded it that caused the function to slow down. Otherwise, it is your cable faulty, your RAM too slow or virus attack that affect your harddisk speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using those duplicates harddisk this to read the harddisk it can't even load after letting it run for like 12 hours and it's not even going up with the steller program Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
