• USB port or cable failure

Why We Don’t Repair Hard Drives

If you’re looking to repair your hard drive or fix your hard disk, it’s important to understand how data recovery professionals operate. A broken or failed HDD is often fragile and unstable after repair, especially if the original heads are damaged, the platter has scratches, or the drive has numerous bad sectors. Repaired hard disk drives deteriorate over time and typically fail again within hours or days, making them unreliable for ongoing use.

For this reason, Payam Data Recovery does not offer hard drive repair as a service. Instead, our team of experts copies all your files to a brand-new, reliable external USB hard drive at a low cost, ensuring you receive your data on a stable device. For specialised needs, such as restoring a computer’s original setup, you can request a sector-to-sector exact clone copy of your drive, which we provide upon request. This approach is key in WD MyPassport not detected recoveries.

Recovery Timelines

Most HDD recoveries are completed within days following the assessment, but complex cases, such as hard disks with damaged heads, seized spindle motors, or extensive read errors, typically require up to several weeks. When your WD MyPassport is not detected due to severe physical damage, the recovery process requires careful handling and precision to ensure the best possible results.
