Hard drive data recovery. Is the chance high for a PC
If your hard drive fails, the chances of recovery depend on the type of failure. For logical issues like deleted or corrupted files, software tools can often recover data if the drive is still working. However, for physical problems like clicking sounds or the drive not spinning, professional help is needed to avoid causing further damage.
DIY recovery works well for logical issues and is easy to use, but it may not help with physical damage. DIY recovery is cheaper and effective for logical problems, while professional services are more expensive but offer better chances of success for physically damaged drives. If the drive is still recognized and functioning, try DIY first, but if there’s physical damage, it’s best to seek professional recovery.
