SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) is a hard drive pre-warning system, usually installed in system BIOS to check and report hard drive defects before they could result in ultimate failure. SMART analyzes the hard drive based on same reliability factors and warn users against predictable failures.
These failures could occur due to gradual wear and tear, overheating, increased noise level, excessive bad sectors and other similar factors. Thus, the user or system administrator gets enough time to take preventive measures like backing up the data or replacing the hard drive. If you are getting errors that SMART has detected an error and the failure is imminent, it is suggested that you should immediately backup all the data stored on the hard drive and replace it. However, if the hard drive is completely failed and you haven't taken any preventive step, you can seek Hard Drive Recovery expert's help to recover data from such physically crashed drive.
For an instance, you might receive the following error when trying to start a computer:
"WARNING: Immediately back up your data and replace your hard disk drive. A failure may be imminent. SMART failure predicted on primary slave."
You might encounter such errors each time while starting the system. Such errors are signs of anticipating hard drive failure and thus requires user's attention. You need to follow these steps after you encounter this error message:
Backup all the stored data on a secondary storage media such as CDs or DVDsReplace the failing hard drive as soon as possible
If you continuously ignore this error message and reach at the final stage of hard drive failure, consult a data recovery company. Hard Drive Data Recovery is provided through procedural techniques and advanced recovery tools aimed at replacing or repairing the damaged internals. This might also include taking hard drive images, using recovery software, shifting hard drive platters and several other highly technical processes. To prevent damages that could occur due to dust particles, static electricity and other factors, Hard Drive Recovery is carried out in Clean Rooms using sophisticated tools.
Stellar Information Systems Limited is the leading organization that provides industry's best and comprehensive Hard Drive Data Recovery service. Facilitated with Class 100 Clean Rooms, Stellar experts use finest recovery techniques to recover lost data from SATA, SCSI, IDE, EIDE and PATA hard drives. The company is in the field for more than 16 years.
