Internal Hard Disk Drive Data Recovery
At Elite Data Recovery, we work on a single fixed fee for all logical issues, recovering data from Internal Hard Disk Storage Drives. We can recover data from all file systems including Apple Mac, Windows and Linux.
What is an Internal Hard Disk Drive?
Internal Hard Disk Drives are generally 3.5″ in size, and consist of multiple disks inside the casing.
Data is written to these disks in a similar fashion to data being written to a CD/DVD or a vinyl record, and is read by a PC by spinning around at high speeds (often 5400 or 7200 RPM – revolutions per minute).
Similar technology can be found in some physically larger External USB Drives – which often house a Hard Disk Drive inside their casing.
Can my data still be recovered?
A common fault with internal hard disk drives is that when taking physical damage, they can start clicking, which means they are failing to read the data correctly. We have a post going into detail on what to do in this situation.
Other issues can consist of:
- Accidentally deleted/lost files or photos.
- Viruses and Malware corrupting data
- Blue Screen Due To Windows Corruption.
- Hard Drive not found on start-up.
- ‘This Hardware Device is Not Connected to The Computer
- The request failed due to a fatal device hardware error’
- Data inaccessible (Excluding Bitlocker)
- Hard Disk Read Error Occurred
- Hard Drive Error ‘0x80071ac3’ – Volume Is Dirty
- ‘The Parameter is Incorrect’
- The Request Failed Due to Fatal Device Hardware Error

How long does the data recovery process take for an Internal Hard Disk Drive?
The size of the data being recovered.
10GB of data will recover much more quickly than 10TB.
The current condition of the drive.
A mildly damaged drive will be read easier by our equipment.
The time it takes to diagnose the problem with drive.
Some drives will need to pass through a series of tests before we are confident in the recovery method to use.
The time it takes us to get the go ahead after we have done the initial diagnostics.
We will give the results of our findings to you, and only continue if you are happy.
The age of the damaged media.
Drives near the end of their life will have a harder time of being read by any equipment.
The type of the damaged media, SATA/IDE/NAS.
Each different type of media has a different read speed, so some will complete their recovery faster than others.The size of the data being recovered.10GB of data will recover much more quickly than 10TB.
