Seagate external hard drive gives you instant capacity, speed, and convenience both at work and at home. With it, you can save your favorite photos, music, movies, documents, even games on a business trip or on vacation. But sometimes, Seagate fails to work and files on it disappear.
What Can Cause Seagate Data Loss
Usually, most data loss cases are caused by the following reasons:
- Logical failure
A logical hard drive failure occurs when a hard drive cannot access due to non-mechanical issues. Common types of logical hard drive failures include accidental deletion, formatting, system corruption, and virus attack.
- Physical Damage
Generally speaking, hard drives are pretty resistant when handled and stored correctly. Common physical problems are overheating water damage and power surges. Physical damage to hard disk drives can make data recovery very difficult and time-consuming.
- Mechanical Failure
Mechanical hard drive failures occur when an HDD's moving components stop functioning due to stress or wear. The read/write heads, actuator arm, and spindles of a hard drive move constantly during normal operation. Due to the extremely precise nature of HDD design, a slight mechanical issue can prevent a drive from accessing user data. Common symptoms of mechanical hard drive failures include hard drive not mount, pretty slow operation, and file corruption.
