Seagate data recovery & other external drive
one of services that our technician work on with great success rate. We got a Seagate driver that was not loading & able to access by the user. External hard drive has bad sectors due normal use, which is normal considering its mechanical hard drive. When we get something like that, we try to remap the bad sectors then try to clone it to another good hard drive. After that, we might be able to see the data or might need to run drive data recovery software to pull the data. This process can be done within 2 to 3 day and sometime might take a week depending on how bad drive, and much data on the drive.
