Data recovery became urgent for a small business in Holt, Michigan, after a sudden power outage caused their Seagate 500 GB hard drive to stop working. The drive, used in a desktop workstation, held around 150 GB of important data vital to their operations. When the power came back, the drive no longer spun up. Instead, it made quiet “bzzzz” sounds and refused to be recognized, even when connected via a USB-SATA adapter.
The team removed the drive from the workstation and tried everything they could think of—but nothing worked. Their data was stuck inside a drive that wouldn’t wake up.
That’s when they turned to WeRecoverData, the leading data recovery company trusted by businesses big and small. From the moment our specialists received the drive, they understood the seriousness of the situation. The symptoms pointed to internal failure, likely caused by the power event.
With skill and precision, our engineers worked in a cleanroom environment, carefully examining the drive’s components. Using specialized tools, they were able to bypass the mechanical failure and access the drive’s platters safely.
The results were a complete success. WeRecoverData recovered the full 150 GB of critical business files—restoring both the data and peace of mind for the customer.
Thanks to the fast response and expertise of WeRecoverData, this small business avoided a major loss. Once again, we proved that no matter how bad it seems, there’s always hope when you trust the right team.
