Data Recovery Services For Defective Hard Drive Motor

A loud squeaking noise or a raw scraping coming from the hard drive usually means defective media or motor damage. Turn off your drive immediately!

A defective hard drive motor usually shows itself through two symptoms:

• The hard drive doesn't turn on at all. This can also be caused by a defective logic or an incorrect voltage supply.
• Uneven spinning of the motor. A coil in the motor may have failed. With some drives you can then hear a soft whistling or a strong squeaking. Motor coil failure can usually be attributed to the manufacturer.

Similar symptoms can be caused by defective media. In this case the use of data recovery software is not possible. You should stop any more attempts on your own so as not to damage the drive any further and contact our data recovery lab right away.
