## Common LaCie Drive Failures and Supported Interfaces (USB-C, FireWire, Thunderbolt, USB 3.0)
LaCie drives – from portable Rugged disks to desktop RAID units – can fail due to physical damage, logical errors, or electronic faults. Our team can handle them all. We support all LaCie connection types (USB-C, USB 3.0, Thunderbolt, FireWire), so we’ll be able to access and diagnose your device. Common LaCie failure scenarios include:
- Dropped or Impact Damage: A LaCie drive that fell and now clicks or won’t spin.
- Drive Not Recognised: Not detected by any computer (often due to internal faults).
- Corrupted File System: Drive suddenly asks to be formatted, or files have become inaccessible.
- Water / Liquid Damage: Spills or floods causing short circuits and corrosion.
- Power Issues / Surges: Electrical spikes frying the drive’s circuit board.
- Accidental Deletion or Formatting: Files deleted, or the drive was formatted by mistake.
- Broken Ports or Connectors: USB-C, Thunderbolt or FireWire ports snapped off or bent.
No matter the scenario, we can retrieve data from LaCie drives used on both macOS and Windows. Our experts are familiar with all macOS and Windows file systems – we’ll recover your files whether your drive was used with a Mac or a PC.

## Our Data Recovery Process and Nationwide Labs
Free Assessment & Quote: To begin, simply bring your faulty LaCie drive to one of our labs in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth or Adelaide (or send it via courier). We’ll provide a free assessment and quote, usually within 1–2 business days. If you need answers urgently, an optional 1–2 hour priority assessment is available for $150. Our quote will explain the problem, chances of success, and cost — and if you choose not to proceed, we’ll return your device with no obligation and no fees.
Expert Recovery & Return: Once you approve the job, our data recovery engineers get to work. Physical hardware issues are repaired in our cleanroom (we can swap out failed heads, PCB boards, etc.). For logical failures (deleted or corrupted data), we run specialized recovery software. In every case, we use advanced cloning tools to image your drive and extract every possible byte of data. After successfully recovering your data, we transfer it onto a new drive and arrange for you to pick it up or have it shipped back. Your recovered files are thoroughly verified to ensure integrity before we return them to you.
