Physically damaged HDDs are hard drives with damaged surfaces, damaged magnetic-head assembly, defective 'service information' that leads to unstable reading and multiple errors, and/or a corrupted translation system between logical block addressing (LBA) and physical geometry of HDD (translator). There are three types of causes of HDD malfunction: physical damage, logical damage, and a combination of physical and logical damage. Recovering data with the Data Extractor SAS Using the Data Extractor SAS, you can create full (sector-by-sector) or partial data copies from the damaged drive to good drives connected to the PC-3000 SAS ports, motherboard and also to image-files.
