External hard drives are great solutions for storing large files and preparing them for quick transfers to other Data Recovery Services computers. They are generally more resistant than the classic hard drive and have a large storage space.

However, although they are extremely reliable, these computer equipment are not infallible and the files stored in them are not immune to accidental deletion.

In case you have formatted your external drive, just plug it into your PC or Mac and use Data Recovery Services software. Before starting a scan, check that you have selected the hardware correctly. Then choose the files that are essential for your business and start the restore process.

On the other hand, if your hardware suffers malfunctions and is not recognized in your computer, first check if the cable is not damaged by changing it. If the problem persists, remove your hard drive from its case and change it.

Once your storage system has been recognized, you must quickly recover and back up your documents and files on your computer or on a USB key. If you notice that your data is no longer present on your disk, start a restoration process with a suitable program.

Note that changing the case is a delicate operation. In the event of incorrect handling, you can cause irreversible damage to your external hard drive. To avoid any damage that could compromise the recovery of your Wikipedia data, we recommend that you call on a specialist.
