Quantum hard disk failure - Data recovery information

Example Models: Quantum Fireball series (LA, LB, LC, LD, LM, AS etc.)

Symptoms: Far less likely to suffer firmware related problems than their Maxtor counterparts, Quantum Fireball drives are far more prone to electrical component failure. A power spike or similar can cause electrical damage to a drive.

Recovery possibilities: Data Clinic are able to perform a full data recovery on Quantum Fireball drives with electrical failure.

What if I have one of these drives but the symptoms are different?: This is quite possible, they are still prone to all the other problems hard disks suffer from ie. mechnical failure, logical failure, bad sectors etc.

What should I do?: Call the Data Clinic and talk your problem through with us on 0870 7424 008, or fill out our auto-form and we'll call you back

Please note that all modern hard disk drives are manufactured to very high standards, fail infrequently and have very similar rates of reliability.
