How We Recover Your Data
Free Assessment Process
If your WD MyBook External USB hard drive is not detected, our team offers a free assessment within 1-2 business days. Using tools like the PC-3000, we diagnose issues such as broken USB ports, damaged heads, or file system corruption. WD MyBook drives use 256-bit AES hardware encryption via the USB bridge board, rendering data unreadable if removed from the enclosure without specialised tools. We provide a report detailing the problem, timeline, and pricing options (economy, priority, or emergency). If approved, we transfer your data to a new external hard drive or SSD; if declined, there is no cost, and your hard disk is returned unharmed. A $150 urgent assessment prioritises your device within 1-2 hours. Learn more about our hard drive recovery services or get a free quote now.
Why We Don’t Repair Hard Drives
Attempting to repair a WD MyBook External USB hard drive is risky. A broken or failed HDD is often fragile, especially with damaged heads, scratched platters, or numerous bad sectors. Repaired hard disk drives deteriorate and typically fail again within hours or days, making them unreliable. Payam Data Recovery does not offer hard drive repair. Instead, our team copies your files to a brand-new, reliable external USB hard drive at a low cost, ensuring stable data access. For specialised needs, such as restoring a computer’s setup, you can request a sector-to-sector clone copy, provided upon request.
Recovery Timelines
Most HDD recoveries are completed within days following the 1-2 business day assessment. Complex cases, such as hard disks with damaged heads, seized spindle motors, or extensive read errors, typically require up to several weeks for thorough recovery. For WD MyBook External USB hard drives dropped, we use techniques like PCB swaps or cleanroom repairs. Watch real recoveries, such as a PCB repair, a failed HDD, or a Melbourne photo save.
