In the bustling city of Chicago, Illinois, a small business faced a major challenge that threatened its operations. Their Western Digital external hard drive (model WD20SDRW-11VUUS1), with a 2 TB capacity, suddenly stopped working. The hard drive only worked when the cable was pushed into the port, a clear sign of a broken connection with the motherboard. This issue caused a devastating loss of 200 GB of critical data—documents, spreadsheets, scanned files, videos, and pictures essential to the business’s daily operations.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, the business turned to WeRecoverData, a trusted name in data recovery services. Known for their expertise and ability to handle complex cases, WeRecoverData quickly stepped in to help.
The team began with a detailed diagnosis of the hard drive. They discovered that the device had suffered physical damage, leading to a broken connection with the motherboard. This explained why the hard drive only worked when the cable was manually adjusted—a temporary and unreliable fix.
To resolve the issue, the skilled technicians at WeRecoverData carefully opened the hard drive and inspected its internal components. They identified the damaged connector as the main issue and worked with precision to repair it. This delicate process required both expertise and state-of-the-art tools to ensure the drive’s stability without causing further damage.
Once the repair was complete, the team used advanced imaging technology to create a full clone of the hard drive. By bypassing damaged sectors and carefully extracting the data, they successfully recovered 216 GB of critical files—more than the business had initially expected to save.
Thanks to WeRecoverData, the small business was able to resume operations without losing any vital information. The business owner’s relief was immeasurable, and their gratitude underscored the life-saving importance of professional data recovery services.
