Data recovery company now accepts bitcoin to retrieve your lost data
New York City, NOV. 26, 2017– WeRecoverData.com officially announced that they accept bitcoins as a form of payment for their services. Data recovery services range from hard drives to servers, cell phones, tablets, memory cards, flash drives, and more.
For many, this news will come as a surprise because many companies are still hesitant to accept the cryptocurrency. However, the data recovery service has made this decision as a way to assist clients who wish to remain anonymous.
“Client confidentiality is our top priority, and WeRecoverData now accepts Bitcoin which will allow clients to stay anonymous if they wish to,” says Edward Byer, Account Manager at WeRecoverData.com. “In addition, we realize a lot of clients have bitcoins and the exchange rate can go up, therefore paying for our service makes financial sense for many of our clients around the world.”
Mr. Byer also adds, “We often have clients who lose their bitcoin wallet due to a hard drive crash or system failure. We help clients recover data, including their wallet.dat file that contains the bitcoins.”
In recent years, bitcoins have become an increasingly popular form of currency to pay for services. The currency is known as a “cryptocurrency,” which means there is no actual cash but rather a digital imprint that can be traded and sold for services and goods. However, the list of available websites and stores where bitcoins can be used has been limited, to say the least, but that looks to be changing soon.
With that said, WeRecoverData.com will be at the forefront of the digital revolution now that they are accepting bitcoins. For clients, this means a convenient form of payment that also allows their identity to be protected.
WeRecoverData.com is a privately held group with its world headquarters located in New York City. The company provides data recovery services worldwide, with representation in North America, South America, Europe and the Middle East.

Overcoming Uncertainties, Work Performed, Achievements, and Outcome
Background:
The RED video format is a proprietary RAW format that is used in high quality, professional video production. A client submitted a RAID array that hosted the storage for their video production files. The files had apparently disappeared and at some point, the file system was reformatted and partially overwritten. Metadata and other structures were overwritten therefore the only solution was a raw file recovery.
The format is undocumented therefore we would have to examine and reverse engineer the RED format by utilizing video files provided by the client, using the same equipment. Due to the proprietary nature and hence lack of technical support, we would have to break down the video header and other structures without any assistance or technical documentation.
Goal:
We had the client supply us with a number of RED video files that were produced using the same camera as that of the files to be recovered.
After deciphering the higher-level file structures, we wrote an initial scanning program used to log the location of all RED video file headers on the volume.
The first task was to extract all fragments utilizing the file start locations written to the scan logs. With the assistance of the client, we viewed the extracted fragments to determine which were complete and those that were truncated (due to interleaving of other file data within the file system).
With feedback from the client, we were informed that many fragments had flicker when played using their video editor and many were also much shorter in time in comparison the actual physical size of the video file.
After examining these files further using an openly available RED video viewer, we were able to determine the exact frames that were causing the flicker. In conjunction with the raw video data, we used this information in order to find the approximate location of the corruption within the file. This information then allowed us to accurately locate stream and frame headers, and then further break these structures down. One of the most important data values we were able to extract from the structures was the video frame timestamp and frame size. Using the timestamp and size, we could locate and identify following frames and determine if they were interrupted by other file data or overwrite.
We broke down the frame metadata further and found that there was unique data for each video file that was useful in segregating the hundreds of individual video files created during production. Our scan utility was enhanced to scan the entire volume containing the deleted RED file fragments and find the locations of continuous video frames utilizing the new information we discovered in the frame metadata.
After gathering the locations of all video fragments, we were able to piece together the majority of the lost files. When verifying the recovered files in the RED viewer, we found that some video files would not load and would hang the viewer during the frame indexing operation. After closer examination, we found that the problematic files had missing frames, likely due to overwrite of some frames. We experimented with good files by adding invalid data to the files as well as removing frames. We found that the viewer could tolerate extra invalid data and was able to resync the video, however a missing frame would cause severe issues with playback.
Since we needed to provide working files to our client, we had to devise a method to patch files that contained missing frames. We experimented by adding frames with a recreated frame header and then padded the data portion with zeroes. The solution now allowed the video to be played, so we went further by copying the preceding frame in to the missing frame (with a corrected frame header) and found the video played flawlessly without flicker.
We are successfully able to recover RED video format files which have been deleted or lost from a working file system. We have obtained enough knowledge regarding the internal RED format structures in order to create other enhanced or custom recovery tools depending on a client’s recovery situation.

We were required to convert a proprietary database format used by a DEX 600e Private Branch Exchange (PBX) telephone switch, in order to allow legacy PBX switch data to be migrated to newer switches. We had previously developed a utility to convert a DEX PBX database in 2015, but the database format that we received in this case appeared to be a different version.
Similar to our previous research, the biggest challenge involved reverse engineering of the various related data tables using specifications for the original switch design. In order to be successful, we required specific data samples output from the current system, and we were unsure whether we could obtain enough pertinent sample data to properly reverse engineer the format. As mentioned in the initial claim, any available documentation available was for the earliest (initial) releases and little information applied to the more recent databases.
We reverse engineered this different database format through analysis of the raw data alongside table outputs provided by the client. We had the assistance of an administrator familiar with the PBX system who generated some sample tables based on specifications that we requested, in order to reverse engineer the unknown data that differed from the other versions. After a number of iterations of table dumps, we were able to eventually gather enough information to determine the relationships between the various tables.
We were successfully able to reverse engineer the data table structures for this database version. We enhanced the code for our current conversion utility to include this new structure and are now able to support a wider range of phone system PBX telephone switches.

We were required to recover deleted files from a flash storage device used in a GoPro video camera. Similar to most file systems, the metadata and pointers are lost after deletion and due to large sizes of video the files are usually fragmented. Due to the proprietary nature of the video format, we had to reverse engineer the video format and then devise a method of accurately extracting the deleted video file. It was unknown whether it was possible to decipher the video stream headers and content since manufacturers were developing more sophisticated ways of encoding video for enhanced speed, features and compression. We have also found that some video formats that lack obvious stream headers (other than the initial header) – these are likely simpler video formats without the ability to resync if compression fails due to data errors.
We analysed a number of good GoPro files in order to determine whether there were obvious video stream headers or any other overhead that wrapped the various chunks of video data. After analysing the binary data of the files, we were able to identify repetitive headers within the file that had similar structures. We then attempted to break down the structure in to the various components describing the following video stream. We were eventually able to separate one of the most important values in the structures for recovery. Using these values, we were able to deduce fragment sequences by first scanning the file system for any fragments containing a stream header. We then logged this fragment’s location, the position of the first header relative to the beginning of the fragment and also the last header relative to the end. In some cases, it was difficult to determine the actual start and/or end of the fragment so at times we forced to manually determine the starting boundary. After all valid video fragments on the volume were logged, we then attempted to pair up fragments with their following fragments. We did this by first taking a fragment containing the principle header signifying the first fragment of the video file. Then by using the distance between the last header to the end of the fragment and knowing the stream size, we could calculate the size of the remaining part of the stream. We then searched the scan log for a fragment that contained an entry equal to this value. If this value did not occur more than once in the log, it was very likely that it was a match. We iterated through each following fragment using the same procedure until the end of file was reached. This was continued with all other file fragments containing principle headers until all possible files were reconstructed.
We successfully recovered the deleted files and were able to add this format to our list of recoverable deleted video files.

Part of our data recovery process involves imaging a storage device if it is unstable or contains potential data errors. exFAT is a file system format that is increasingly popular with digital cameras and video devices. The block size (and hence the cluster size) is usually larger than a standard 512 byte per sector seen with standard Windows storage device format in order to support large file system sizes. When the device is imaged to another storage medium (hard disk or image file), the non-standard block size is not recognized by Windows and hence the recovery utilities that we reviewed on the market were not successful in extracting large deleted files from this type of file system. We were required to develop a utility that would recognize the different block sizes and extract deleted video files from the client’s device image using the different parameters of exFAT.
In attempting to develop this utility, we were unsure with the information we could find at the time, whether it was possible to fully recover a deleted file from a file system that was in use for a period of time. We found through information that some pointers and metadata were retained after deletion but it was uncertain how much overwrite that the file system would tolerate before utilizing the deleted space.
We studied the manner in which the file system modified the FAT and metadata when a file was deleted. We found after some study that file metadata (file name, dates, file size, etc) is still retained for a period of time and is only marked as available in the bitmap, but will eventually get overwritten if the directory space is needed. The FAT chain is also retained for a time after deletion but also eventually gets overwritten when the disk storage space is needed. From our observations, the FAT chain was retained longer than file metadata.
Using file system data from a client recovery that contained deleted files, we found that the metadata for requested files for recovery was missing. We then requested video file sample from the video camera that produced the files and performed a scan. We created a utility that scanned for the video headers and recorded the locations. After matching the video headers with valid files that weren’t deleted, we deduced that the remaining file headers that were part of video files that were previously deleted. We matched these file start locations to the related location in the FAT, and if that location showed that it was the beginning of a chain, it was extracted assuming that the FAT was valid. The files were then tested since there was no way to guarantee the file integrity. The end result was a successful tool that is being used in the daily operation.

“Previously sent job to DriveSavers and the recovered DB was unusable, but then I sent the drives to WeRecoverData.com the recovery was successful. We got our data back and it saved us two years of rebuilding information.
“We had an IBM RAID 6 array that may have been expanding from four drives to five. Something went wrong and there was at least one incorrect rebuild done after that. Kroll Ontrack performed a recovery attempt without success. We didn’t give up and we found WeRecoverData which claimed they recovered successfully many of these RAIDs. We were very hopeful and they finally did it. They recovered it all successfully! They were able to recover all of our files, excellent job in recovering our data… Very fast service, reasonably priced and excellent customer service… very responsive… Would definitely recommend…”
“I really appreciate the folks at WeRecoverData.com. After my valuable business data and family photos from the last 5 years being stuck in black hole known as a crashed hard drive, WeRecoverData.com came to the rescue I was recommended to another major recovery service (Drive Savers Data Recovery) by several computer consultants when my drive first failed. After three – four weeks of working with my drive, the competition returned my drive to me unrecovered. I thought my data was gone for good. When my wife suggested we try another company, we went werecoverdata.com. Within 3 – 4 days of shipping my data out, I got the e-mail that that had recovered 100% of my data. Thank you so much to Pedro and the team at WeRecoverData.com You guys are a life saver.”

“A trusty WD hard drive, which was the only place we stored our comprehensive digital photos, some key pdfs, and thousands of mp3s was accidentally dropped from a couch. When we tried to turn it on, it started making a clicking noise – we knew we were in trouble. Upon consulting my techie friends, one of whom tried to run a data recovery software on the drive, with no success – I was told to seek help from professionals. I tried a local computer repair shop, and they said problems were significant enough that I needed to work with a firm specializing in data recovery. I started shopping around, and sent the drive to werecoverdata.com, based on a friend`s recommendation. They came back with a quote of $ 1800 which was more than I was prepared to pay. I tried another option – a low cost company in Canada – called Accurate Data Recovery. They claimed that their fee will not exceed a thousand dollars, and they had every capability of large companies like Ontrack and DiskDoctors.com. They spent about a week and a half trying to recover the data, only to inform me that the physical damage was too great and they could not do anything for me.
The big boy Ontrack was next – believe it or not, they spent a month, trying various techniques that they referred to as “proprietary”, “state of the art” and even “innovative and experimental”. No success there too. I finally came back to Werecoverdata.com, still hoping against hope. To my great delight, after about 3 weeks they were able to get data of the drive, recovering 95% of the files!!! Throughout the process they were diligent and very professional with updates, and transparent around their process. I am not sure what magic they used, but I am extremely grateful to their skillful people, dedication to results and the customer friendly way they communicated with me. I would always recommend them to friends and colleagues, and will use them if, God forbid, I ever need to again, without any hesitation.
Thanks, Werecoverdata.com!”

“When my house burned down, I lost practically everything I owned. I remember after the fire I was digging through the rubble when I came across my external hard-drive. It was filled with rust-colored water and the plastic was baked onto the electronics. I tossed it back into the ashes of the house thinking it was ruined and that all my data was lost. It wasn’t until a friend reminded me that it was free to have a hardware recovery evaluation done that I figured that I might as well try When WeRecoverData.com told me later that week that all the files could be recovered successfully, I was in disbelief. Not only was the recovery successful, but they laid out every file exactly as they were before the fire. After this experience, I can confidently recommend for everyone to bring their damaged hardware to WeRecoverData.com no matter how melted, soaked or cracked it may be. They truly are experts at what they do.”

Why Not Try Another Company First?
We often get cases from other recovery companies after they failed to recover the data. (In many cases, we get the data, but the chance of a successful recovery decreases significantly after the first attempt.)
Other companies put a time limit on your case of only a few hours; they do not invest more than the allocated amount of time before they call it unsuccessful.
In many cases time is critical. Valuable time is wasted when a less professional company attempts a recovery.
The first attempt at a recovery has the highest chance of being successful.
*if we cannot get the required data, no recovery fee will occur.
What should you do if disaster strikes
– Do not use any utility software if your hard disk is making noise, such as scraping, tapping, clicking, or humming sound, or if the drive is unstable with read errors.
– If your device suffers from physical damage or makes unusual sounds, do not turn it on.
– Shut down your computer to avoid further damage to your drive and its data.
– Trying to recover the data by yourself, using over-the-counter tools, is a risk, as you may cause further damage to your drive and permanent data loss.
– Set up another computer or server to replace the damaged unit and restore available backups onto the new unit to begin productive work.

Avoid data loss – safety tips
Always back up your data, especially when upgrading your system. Make sure that copies of your most important data are being kept off site
Always turn your computer off using the operating system shut down process
Always use up-to-date hardware and software utilities for data security, such as virus protections and firewalls
Laptops should be operated on a hard and flat surface to allow proper ventilation and to avoid over heating
Servers should have fans, ventilation or portable air conditioning systems as close as possible to avoid operating in high temperatures.
Allow enough space around the external drive’s cooling fans and remove any items that may block air flow
Do not turn off peripheral devices while computer is on, or when disc is active
Drives should be stable and stationary when operating. If you have to move your computer – turn it off first
When touching or handling the media, make sure to avoid static electricity
If you hear unusual sounds coming from your computer, turn it off immediately to avoid further damage
Case Scenarios and Action Steps
Symptom 1
You hear a clicking noise coming from the computer.
Reason
The reason for this issue in many cases is a head crash or bad head alignment that causes the HD to fail to initialize.
It can happen to a new as well as an old HD, with older drives being more prone to head crashes and head failures.
Action Turn off the computer immediately and bring the HD to a data recovery expert.
The longer you continue to work with the computer attempting to access the HD, the lower the chances that you will have a successful recovery.
MEDIA
HD 2.5”,1.8” (Laptop), HD 3.5” (Server), RAID Array.(Server)
Symptom 2
In many cases a hard drive crash is followed by reduced or slow computer performance.
Reason
The reason for this issue is in many cases caused by overheating.
It can happen to a new as well as an old HD, with older HD being more prone to overheating issues.
Action
In cases where you experience these symptoms, and you don’t have access to your operating system. STOP! Do not continue to use the computer.
Turn off the computer and immediately bring the HD to a data recovery expert.
MEDIA
HD 2.5”,1.8” (Laptop), HD 3.5” (Server), RAID Array.(Server)
Symptom 3
You deleted a file and emptied the recycle bin/trash can.
Reason
Human Error.
Action
STOP! Shut down the computer immediately using the physical power button, in order for the system to stop writing any data the HD and bring it to data recovery expert.
If you continue to use the computer after the file/folder got deleted you can lower the chances that you will have a successful recovery of the lost files or folders.
MEDIA
HD 2.5”, 1.8” (Laptop), HD 3.5” (Server, Desktop), RAID Array.(Server)
Symptom 4
You formatted a HD with important data.
Reason
Human Error.
Action
Stop working on the computer, shut down the computer and bring it to a data recovery expert.
the more actions you will do to that specific HD, the lower the chances that you will have a successful recovery.
MEDIA
HD 2.5”, 1.8” (Laptop), HD 3.5” (Server, Desktop), RAID Array.(Server)
Symptom 5
You deleted pictures in your digital camera.
Reason
Human Error.
Action
Stop working immediately with the camera and take the memory card out.
Bring it to a data recovery expert. We can help recover the deleted pictures.
The longer you will use the camera after the pictures got deleted, the lower the chances that you will have of a successful recovery.
MEDIA
All digital camera memory cards.
Symptom 6
You formatted the memory card on the digital camera.
Reason
Human error.
Action
Stop working immediately with the camera and take the memory card out.
Bring it to a data recovery expert., We can help recover the formatted memory card.
The longer you will use the camera after the memory card was formatted, the lower the chances that you will have a successful recovery.
MEDIA
All digital camera memory cards
Symptom 7
One or more of a RAID array drives failed or the RAID array failed to initialize and you no longer have access to the array data.
Reason
One or more of the HD failed or the array controller failed.
Action
Stop working immediately with the server, number the order of the HD (0,1,2…) and bring that array preferably with the array controller to a data recovery expert.
If the array failed to load, do not try to replace a HD, in case the array did not initialize it would not help and might cause the rebuilding on the array and you could lose the data completely.
Do not try to replace a controller – it doesn’t have the raid information structure of the old one and you might accidentally initialize the RAID array and delete the existing information.
Be advised that most RAID array data losses are caused by human errors.
MEDIA
RAID array (SCSI + ATA + SATA)
Symptom 8
Backup Tape couldn’t be read by the tape drive or the backup software while performing a restore of a backup.
Reason
Magnetic Tape might be old and has some surface problem.
Action
Bring the Tape for a diagnosis to a data recovery expert.
Please be advised that in some cases it’s easier and cost effective to recover data from damaged HD than a tape. In cases where you are restoring data because of other failed media we would like to evaluate both backup tapes and hard drive.
Software to Extract Deleted Virtual Machine Files from a VMFS Volume

Purpose of work
To achieve technological advancement for the purpose of creating new or improving existing materials, devices, products or processes.

Overcoming Uncertainties, Work Performed, Achievements, and Outcome
Background:
We received a large multi-volume RAID storage array that utilized a Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) as the host file system. The file system contained files for multiple virtual machines (VMs) in the client’s environment. The array suffered a multiple drive failure, therefore the client and their IT consultants attempted to replace and rebuild the failed drives in the storage array. The overall storage system contained multiple independent RAID arrays and volumes, and drives from different arrays were placed in incorrect positions when rebuilt. Due to the extensive amount of damage resulting from the incorrect rebuild, the VMFS volumes would no longer mount.
Goal:
We attempted to recreate the original configuration in our labs by removing the drives that were known to be invalid and rebuilt those from parity. The result was a very damaged file system, but there was still a large amount of file system metadata and user data that was not damaged. There are very few companies that deal with highly damaged VMFS file systems, so any tools found on the internet were very basic and were only useful with undamaged or lightly damaged structures.
Our aim was to reverse engineer the VMFS metadata structures in order to see if it was possible to manually extract deleted/missing virtual machine (VM) files. The publicly available tools claimed to recover deleted files, but didn’t address file systems that were either reformatted or missing some of the original file metadata. If we were successful at extracting the deleted VM, we needed to see if it was possible to repair missing/corrupted structures since we highly suspected damage due to the incorrect RAID rebuild. If this wasn’t possible, we wanted to investigate if it was possible to create a utility to extract the virtual machine files and patch areas where the metadata traversed corrupted areas. With the lack of accurate technical documentation and an no publicly available utilities to recover highly damaged VMFS hosts, we were uncertain whether it would even be possible to reach our goal.
The overall (damaged) storage array submitted for recovery was suitable for our research purposes since it contained 3 different VMFS volumes, therefore we had a cross section of VMFS volumes of various sizes. This assisted us in the initial stages of reverse engineering the metadata and inode/pointer structures since the differing structure sizes provided additional valuable information.
Through detailed analysis of directory structures, inodes, secondary and tertiary indirect table files we were eventually able to gather enough details of the file system structure in order to navigate through the file structure and hence extract uncorrupted virtual machine (VMDK) files from the VMFS system.
During the examination of corrupted file structures, we noted a regular occurrence of invalid pointers within the indirect pointer files that we assumed were due to the incorrect RAID rebuild by the client. Some indirect pointers that should have been pointing to other pointer tables were either zeroed or contained illegal values. We devised strategies in our experimental utilities that would allow us to extract all valid data, while segregating the corrupt pointers and voiding these areas in the extracted virtual machine file.
In our recovery attempt, we repaired the damaged areas by filling them with legal values that pointed to a signature block that we created. Our hope was that this would essentially mark all invalid areas in the extracted VM files with an identifiable signature so that we would know that those areas corresponded to invalid data pointers. We attempted to mount the volume under Linux vmfs-fuse but it appeared that the modifications were not accepted and the volume would not mount. This was likely due to the severe damage in some other areas of the data and metadata and possibly the fact that many rebuilt pointers were pointing to the same location (this would normally not occur in an operational VMFS volume). Due to this failure, we then proceeded to modify our extraction utility and used it to extract the virtual machine. We had our utility disregard any duplicate pointers as well as some other issues in the volume structures.
The resulting extracted file had all of the retrievable VM data blocks that were possible with the metadata available. Due to data blocks that were corrupted during the rebuild though, corruption that couldn’t be detected earlier became apparent after extraction and examination of the VM file.
We were unable to successfully extract and rebuild a usable virtual machine file for our client since the combination of lost or bad data due to pointer corruption and data area corruption led to a larger amount of invalid areas than initially expected. However, we are able to extract deleted virtual machine files which was our main goal. We can reliably recover deleted files from a VMFS file system if the client submits their case without any further writing to the volume. With knowledge gained, we are also able to recover files from VMFS file systems with moderately damaged internal structures.

Why Not Try Another Company First?
We often get cases from other recovery companies after they failed to recover the data. (In many cases, we get the data, but the chance of a successful recovery decreases significantly after the first attempt.)
Other companies put a time limit on your case of only a few hours; they do not invest more than the allocated amount of time before they call it unsuccessful.
In many cases time is critical. Valuable time is wasted when a less professional company attempts a recovery.
The first attempt at a recovery has the highest chance of being successful.

The first step is always to analyze the storage device or the file to identify the nature of the problem and the extent of the damage.
In many cases, media error (Hard Drive or RAID errors), causes the database to be corrupted.
Therefore, If possible it’s strongly recommended that you send us the physical storage device, which the database was stored on, for an evaluation. We tend to get better recovery results when we complete the recovery in the hardware level.
In many cases sending us the physical drives would not be technically possible, so we can work on the actual file.
You can upload it to us quickly using our 100MBps internet line or sending it to us on a media.
If you wish to upload a file to us, please submit a case and contact us for the FTP details.
Each job is unique and will vary according to the version, size and the problem of the file.
The evaluation results tells the customer what we can recover, how much time it will take and how much it will cost.
It is up to the customer to decide whether we should go ahead with the recovery.
The recovery results will be submitted to the customer, as part of our verification of a successful recovery process.
We will supply the recovered data on whatever medium the customer specifies.
You can trust We Recover Data from the simple single drive Linux desktop to the most complex Sun Fire E6900 with multiple storage arrays running mission critical Oracle Databases to recover your data.

USB Flash Drive Recovery
Recovering data from your USB Drive (or thumb drive) is a seamless process at We Recover Data. We Recover Data’s engineers are versatile, knowledgeable and well-experienced. USB devices are nowadays very common as they have the ability to store huge amount of data, in the safest manner possible. They are easy to carry and boast of fast data backup in respect to other storage devices. However, data loss and inaccessibility problems are on the rise, hence the need for USB data recovery services increased twofold.
USB Drive Data Recovery
A USB flash drive, also known as a pen drive, USB stick or USB memory, is basically a storage device with an integrated USB interface. USB drives are removable, rewritable and recoverable, as and when necessary. Since March 2016, flash drives’ memory storage capacity has increased from 8 GB to 256 GB, and in some cases to 512 GB AND 1 TB.
Three Types of USB Flash Drives:
Regular TSOP-48 Flash Drives – This is one of the most primitive types of pen drive. With technical modifications and updates, these kinds of USB drives are going down on their charm and appeal.
Monolithic Flash Drives – These type of flash drives don’t have any printed circuit board, as all their circuitry is well-integrated in the chip.
BGA Flash Drives – Also known as Ball Grid Array USB drives, these flash drives don’t have any legs and is directly connected to the printed circuit board via balls of solder.
Lost Data Recovery Services
In case, you have lost any of your data, don’t panic. Your data is entirely recoverable and our experts guarantee their service. We Recover Data has encompassing knowledge and professional ability to retrieve all your vital data from any kind of data loss situations and from any device.
Crashed USB Flash Drives Symptoms:
Drive shows capacity 0mb or incorrect data size
You need to format drive
Damaged circuit board
Drive shows as raw in disk manager
Drive not accessible
Light does not power on
Un-detectable by the computer
Please insert disk into removable disk
USB device not recognized or malfunctioned
The USB flash drive can stop working for a number of reasons and your right to access meaningful data can be jeopardized. Students and working professionals, mostly use these kinds of storage devices to store relevant data and information. Hence, when the devices stop working they are the ones who face maximum problem. Irrespective of the nature of failure, professionals at We Recover Data can easily recover your data from damaged USB devices. For more information on USB data recovery call us at our toll-free number.
SD Card Recovery
We Recover Data is a leading data recovery service provider equipped with the most advanced set of technologies and state-of-the-art equipment, which assists in recovering data from any kind of storage device. SD card, also known as a Secure Digital Card, is nowadays used extensively by professionals, animators, and normal android users. Students also find it extremely useful to store their studies-related data in a safe and secure way. Along with the SD Card, the need for SD card recovery services is on the rise, as any kind of memory card is susceptible to damage.
Memory Configurations of an SD Card
Generally, the memory storing capacity in an SD card varies from device to device. However, generally, the maximum memory ranges between 32GB and 64 GB. Sometimes, the capacity can even be extended to 128GB, depending on the device.
There are mainly three kinds of SD card – Full SD, Micro SD and Mini SD. SDXC, SDHC, and SD are also some other variants of SD cards that are ruling the present internet market. Capacity range alongside disk format of these three kinds;
SD: FAT 12 and FAT 16, up to 16 GB
SDHC: FAT 32, up to 32 GB
SDXC: exFAT, up to 2TB
When it comes to recovery of SD Card data, we are one of the most trusted data recovery company, headquartered in New York City, USA. Our experts, with their extensive knowledge and several years of experience, can easily recover data from all types of hard drives, storage devices, removable media, and flash memory chips.
Possible Causes of Data Loss
With time and innovation, the memory card is now more versatile and functional. With high performance, better security, and easy portability, memory cards from SanDisk, Kinston, and Samsung ensure their users improved productivity.
Some of the most common causes of data loss are:
Damaged SD card
Intrusion of virus
Dust on the SD card’s surface
File system corruption
Wrong deletion
Wrong formatting
Incorrect operations
Once you lose your data, you should never try to recover files on your own, because you never know you can bring secondary damage to the device in concern.

Mechanical Failure
If your hard drive is making too much noise or is not working properly, it means that it is experiencing a mechanical failure. The reason for failure may be a head crash or motor failure. To derive data that has been lost, mechanical failures need a cleanroom environment so as to uncase the hard drive properly and effectively.
Logical Failure
Is your hard drive working perfectly, but you cannot open some of your files and important documents? Then this means you might be experiencing a logical failure. The reason for such failures can be either due to a lost partition or accidental reformatting of the drive. In such scenarios, contact our data recovery experts, who will perfectly analyze the malfunctioning drive before proceeding further.
Some Of The Problems Related to Hard Drives Are:
General physical problems
Failed MBR (Master Boot Record)
Faulty partition table
Disk read/write head failure
Power surge electronic damage
Failed PCB (printed circuit board)
Bad motor controller
Corrupt cache memory
Faulty interfaces, such as USB or SATA connector
Failed fuse, capacitor, or resistor
Failed voltage regulator

Why Not Try Another Company First?
We often receive cases from other companies after they failed to recover the data. – In many cases, we end up recovering the data successfully, but the chance of a successful recovery decreases significantly after the first attempt.
Other companies place a time limit on your case of only a few hours; they do not invest more than the allocated amount of time before declaring it unsuccessful.
Your time is critical. Valuable time is wasted, and the level of risk greatly increases when a non-professional individual or company attempts a recovery.
The first attempt at a recovery has the highest chance of being successful.
Most companies will charge a fee when they recover a certain percentage of the data. In many cases, invaluable or non-critical data is being recovered. We focus and target the client`s critical data and make sure that its functional. That saves valuable time and increases the chances of success.
*if we cannot get the required data, no recovery fee will occur.
