With an impressive range and affordable price bracket, large numbers of businesses in Cape Town have come to rely on these devices for their day to day operations. But what happens when something goes wrong and you can’t access your valuable data?
WE HAVE A NO RECOVERY – NO CHARGE POLICY.
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF THE SEAGATE RANGE
One of the reasons Seagate data storage solutions have become so popular is the wide range of solutions they have on offer – from relatively simple backup drives for small businesses and home offices, to large NAS (Network-attached) systems capable of storing over 30 TB of data.
Those in the IT field and creative industries (a comparatively large segment of the Cape Town market) may be familiar with their groundbreaking Barracuda Pro range, which boasts transfer rates of up to 250 MB/s, and are generally utilized in hand with basic laptop, desktop and as external hard drives.
Other notable Seagate product ranges include the Firecuda SSD hybrid drives, the easily scaled Ironwolf NAS range, and the Skyhawk range designed specifically for storage of surveillance footage, frequently up to several thousand hours’ worth.
And while it’s easy to see why the Seagate range has become so popular, there are several known weaknesses which can affect them. The Barracuda range, for example, suffered a major bug which affected millions of drives; and the earlier modes of their DM models were also prone to failure. Spindle failure – one of the trickiest complications for data recovery experts to resolve – is also a possibility when the drives are subjected to jostling or force.
Of course, even when there are no innate weaknesses, human error can still result in potentially catastrophic data losses – such as in the case of accidental deletion, or simply dropping the unit by mistake. Whatever the underlying cause might be, our Seagate hard drive data recovery team in Cape Town can help!

WHAT IS INVOLVED IN SEAGATE HARD DRIVE DATA RECOVERY?
While there are disk repair utilities out there that the general public can make use of, attempting to recover data on your own is extremely risky. Most of these programs write over existing data (which could otherwise have been retrieved) when you install or run them. In most cases, especially if the drive hardware has been compromised, they simply don’t work anyway – and will in fact make the problem worse.
Hard drives contain extremely delicate and fragile components. Because they are also magnetized, they are highly sensitive to dust and debris – even your fingerprints can cause additional damage. Just by opening a compromised hard drive, you can make it impossible to retrieve data that could otherwise have been restored.
If your business relies on your data for its day to day operations, this is simply not a risk worth taking. Rather give our team at Data First a call and have the experts handle it for you.
