Physical failure of the hard disk, can you really recover? ~ Conclusion Hen ~



New facts to be discovered one after anotherWhile being beaten by, I definitely made a decision. First of all call me an agent, ITFO, and "On trackTo get the hard disk safely from safe. Then, the price was cheapest among those who called us last time.Data SalvageLet's ask for a free quote. If the on-track was disassembled, recovery was hopeless no matter where it was put out, so we chose "data salvage" which would not cost money other than shipping costs if only estimate.

Also, according to the description of the site,If you attach another company's quotation, we will further discount 10%I will do it. In other words, it is like this. It is cheap. No way to be cheap so far ... ....

· Initial diagnosis
On-track 15,000 yen
Bra bar 0 yen
· Restoration costs
On-track 1,017,870 yen
Braver 184, 500 yen × 90% (10% discount) = 166,050 yen
· Recovery capacity
On-track D drive only (23 GB)
Braver C + D Drive All (40 GB)


Well, are you surely coming back from on-track intact? Okay, please.
■ On-track returns hard disk, what's inside?


First of all, to ITFOR "I am too expensive and can not pay, so I will resend it if I can secure the money, so I want you to return it for the time being," phone. Start the return procedure.

And on March 13 (Tuesday), this is the actual box that came back.


Some receipts are included


In this way, the hard disk is in a state of being floated and sandwiched between vinyl from the top and bottom, and it is protected so as not to receive shocks. As expected, it is an industry leader "on-track" that "has a high price but the best in technology", it does it.


It is wrapped in bubble wrap properly


It is like this


I will call Bray Bar Co., Ltd. here. Whether or not it was disassembled is said to be understood by whether or not the seal at the "CAUTION" part at the bottom of the above picture is peeled off. As I saw, it is judged that probably it will not be disassembled because there are no signs of peeling or torn marks. I immediately packed it back and sent it to Bray Bar. Can we recover properly ...?

■ Estimated completion, results and how


On Thursday, March 15, finally a phone call from Braber finished diagnosis. As a result, the data can be recovered. On the contrary, it seems that it operated normally at the time of arrival at the Bray Bar ... ... that? You sure thought that it was broken by emitting an abnormal noise ...? I guess you just repaired just by being diagnosed on-track ...? Does the on-track technical skill say that it is an order of magnitude so far ...?

According to Braver, although it is actually about 1 or less per year in fact, the position of the bearing that shifted due to something impact added during the movement returns to its original position and it will operate normally It seems that the case of ... ... has existed in the past. Apparently this time it seems that this very rare example. At the beginning, it seems that the Braver side also gagaku Buruburu thinking "Were you deliberately sent a hard disk that did not break down?"

So, if you think that it will end up in the end, it is said that you can not take the expenses for what is not broken, so the restoration cost for the breaker is zero yen at this point. However, because the bearing may be displaced again during transportation, it is also possible that you can not read it here as well, so I asked Bray Bar to suck out all the contents for the time being and then send the hard disk to me, so I can not read it again here In the case I decided to have the data which I had inhaled in beforehand be sent for a fee.

■ Returned hard disk


And on Monday of the week, March 19, the hard disk finally got back to life and it came back. This is the movie. That certain noise is certainly gone .... But something a bit sounds .... However, all contents were safe. Of course I transferred all to another hard disk with haste.



I see, I can not see why on-track has declared "100% restoration possible" by that. Probably it reached on-track or it came up during diagnosis. Or it may have been repaired by shock while transporting to the breaker ... .... But, if it was fixed at the time of arrival on the on-track, what is the bill of that massive amount of money? The mystery is deepening.

Anyway, what I learned about this time's thing is to keep backing up every day properly, but also to listen here and there without thinking about giving up anything. Especially hard disk like this one can not be read, it is a physical obstacle! In the case like such case, it is likely that the mind will turn around, there will not be a momentary grace, or in any case it will be an "emergency" in many cases. In such an emergency, it is not even possible to arrange appropriate judgment materials, rather than making reasonable decisions, unless we know a certain amount of knowledge from around the usual days.

RESULTS: About two weeks after only diagnosis price and shipping fee to on-track and shipping cost to the breaker, I self-healed naturally, sorry, sorry.

Besides, if you know the case that "The trader here is technically sure and price is cheap" or "The merchant here was the worst", please give me a warning.
