Our hard drive data recovery success
What’s your success rate? It’s one of the most common questions a data recovery company will be asked. Unfortunately data recovery is not a regulated industry so there are many interpretations of ‘success rate’ and a huge number of varying claims.
Some companies define ’success’ as the ability to read any amount of data from your failed drive (which may not contain any useful data), and others will exclude unrecoverable cases from their statistics. When it comes to data recovery, every case is unique and while many customers will enjoy a full recovery, some are inevitably unrecoverable.
Ontrack has successfully performed over half a million data recoveries. We base our success purely on recovering the data that’s most important to our customers and have a ‘no data, no fee’ policy. Equipped with first-class facilities and over thirty years’ experience, starting your hard drive data recovery with Ontrack is the best chance for your data.

Mechanical failures
If your hard drive is not working or is making clicking or grinding noise, it is experiencing a mechanical failure. This could be due to a head crash or motor failure.
Mechanical failures require a cleanroom environment in order to open the hard drive without causing further data loss. Contact us today to discuss the best recovery options for you.
Logical failures
If your hard drive is working, but you cannot access some or all of your files, then it likely to be experiencing a logical failure. This could be due to a lost partition or accidental reformatting of the drive.
Common logical data loss issues include file deletion, corruption, or file directory damage from a virus or malicious program. If your hard drive is still recognised, you can try using our Ontrack EasyRecovery software to get your data back before sending your device to us.

Signs of hard drive failure
There can be numerous warning signs of a failing hard drive. You may be able to identify them even before you lose your data. These are some of the most common signs:
- Recurring computer freezing or crashing
- Disappearing or inaccessible data
- Hard drive underperforming
- Boot freezing or disk errors
- Abnormal heating or noises.
We recommend taking preventative steps to lower the risk of your hard drive failing initially.
Environment
Ensure your hard drive has sufficient ventilation to keep cool and doesn’t accumulate dust. You can do this by keeping your computer in an open area that is regularly cleaned.
Energy
Power surges pose a big risk to electrical items. Make sure you use a surge protector and keep your computer or hard drive unplugged when it’s not in use. This will help avoid electrical damage.
Clean data
Keep your hard drive clean by keeping your files sorted and by running routine cleaning and defragmenting programs.
Tips for increasing data recovery success
Power Off
Water damage
Strange noises
Turn off the power. Clicking or grinding noises indicate that the drive might have crashed. This can cause permanent, unrecoverable damage to your files if the drive continues to run.
Deleted or reformatted
Whether it was an accidental delete, reformat or if your files have gone missing, our DIY data recovery software could help. Download a free trial of the software for a list of recoverable files. If your files can be found, simply purchase the full licence to download the data.
