You should not power on the drive or use any software recovery tool if your hard drive is making any noise as it can cause further damage and you can have permanent data loss.
You should look for the experience and professional data recovery services to recover your data in mechanical failure. DRG is a reliable name in the industry with highest success rates in the hard drive repairs. It can also provide you the hard drive components.
It is important for the computer users to note that all mechanical failure hard drives are not completely recoverable.



What Is Data Recovery?
Data recovery is the process through which you can access your lost data on hard drive, removable storage, optical devices and tape cartridges.
Software problems, computer virus, mechanical or electrical malfunction or human act can cause the data loss. The experienced and skilled professionals of the DRG can recover 70%_75% of your lost in any case.
