Water damaged drive data recovery

Flood Hard Drives

Hard Drives have a tiny vent hole to allow air to escape when they get hot. They put a small HEPA filter over the hole to keep dust out. It keeps dust out but lets water in. If a hard drive is submerged in water they will slowly fill up with water. Water splashed on a hard dive normally does not get inside but can cause the circuit board to short out. If a drive gets wet you should NEVER turn it on!!!

We received many flood drive from Hurricane Sandy
The first week we were able to recover 80% of the drives.
The second week we recovered 60% of the drives.
At 30 days we were only able to recover 20% of the drives.
The longer you wait with water in your drive, the less likely that anybody can recover it.
Send us your drive ASAP after you get it wet.

wet hard disk

The hard drives above came from a subbasement in NYC after Hurricane Sandy.
The drives were covered by some unknown substance.
We were able to recover these because we were able to clean them up before they dried out.

Water Damaged Hard Drive

The customer above waited too long to have his hard drive recovered.
He said he was waiting for his insurance company to approve the recovery.
The water corrodes the disk surface and causes the data to fade away.
This drive is so bad that it can’t be recovered even for a million dollars.
