Many people are starting to use external drives, and this is for a number of reasons. In my particular case it’s because my internal hard drive is all but full, and frankly I cannot afford a new computer just yet. I found out that you can now get external drives that just plug into a USB slot.

You can pick up a 160gB drive for a little over R900 and a 250gB for about R1200, and that’s much cheaper than buying a new computer. But what happens if the drive crashes for some reason?

External drives can be subject to data loss just like any other hard drive. It’s just that much easier to get an external hard drive to the data recovery experts if there is ever a problem.

Intratec Data Recovery can also recover lost data from all types of removable storage devices.
Removable storage devices are any external storage device such as optical disks (Digital Video Disks and Compact Disks), 3.5” Diskettes (from ‘A’ drive) and portable USB Devices (what you may call memory sticks). Loss of data from these types of devices is a fairly common occurrence and in most cases it is possible to recover lost data. Data could be lost from these external devices because of:

• Media surface contamination and damage
• Accidental reformatting
• Corrupted data
• Fire & water damage
• Inaccessible media
• Accidental deletion of data
• Virus
