IBM / Hitachi Deskstar 120GXP, 180GXP and 7K250 data recovery
3.5-inch IDE and SATA desktop drives made 2002–2005. Recovered in our central London clean-room lab with PC-3000, for customers anywhere in the UK.
Faults we see on the IBM / Hitachi Deskstar 120GXP, 180GXP and 7K250
Common faults are worn heads and firmware faults that make the drive spin but not show up. Hitachi firmware is well supported by PC-3000.
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.
