Hitachi Deskstar 7K500, 7K1000 and 7K1000.B/C data recovery
3.5-inch SATA desktop drives made 2005–2011. Recovered in our central London clean-room lab with PC-3000, for customers anywhere in the UK.
Faults we see on the Hitachi Deskstar 7K500, 7K1000 and 7K1000.B/C
The 7K1000 was the first 1TB hard drive. We mostly see head failures and bad sectors that slow the drive to a crawl.
How we recover it
We use PC-3000 systems from ACE Lab, the professional standard for data recovery labs. PC-3000 lets us repair a drive’s firmware through its service area, read damaged drives one head at a time, and copy weak drives slowly and safely without stressing them. Physical repairs such as replacing read/write heads are done in our clean room in central London, so the drive never leaves our lab.
