Hitachi disk's have been extremely popular over the last few years due to their good name and robust technology. While very good hard disk drives, Hitachi, like all other hard drives, they do fail. A sudden failure of the Hitachi system normally means that the software firmware configuration or electronics has failed in most cases.

Recovery Process:

Depending on the type of Hitachi system, the data recovery process can take several paths depending on the Hitachi configuration of your system.

In all cases all hard disks sent in for recovery are diagnosed to establish cause of failure. We then go about resolving the hardware or software issue and get the drive to a state that we can perform a 100% image of the disk. We image all hard disks as standard during our recovery procedure. This ensures the intergity of the original hard disk.

We then work with the hard disk image to process the Hitachi file system and extract the data.

We recover Hitachi systems from all operating systems inclusing Apple Mac, Windows, Linux and Unix systems. So no matter whether its Apple HFS+, NTFS, Ext2, Ext3, Ext4, XFS or ZFS we can recover your data for you. If you are unsure what the file system configuration is we can also determine the configuration for you.

Hitachi disk's have been extremely popular over the last few years due to their good name and robust technology. While very good hard disk drives, Hitachi, like all other hard drives, they do fail. A sudden failure of the Hitachi system normally means that the raid configuration or electronics has failed in most cases.

Hitachi drives have been infamous for their click of death hard disks in their Deskstar hard drives. The hard disks will in many cases be working 100% before then failing suddenly. The Hitachi disk will not be recognised by the Computer BIOS and sometimes the BIOS may identify them with their factory default names or they will not be recognised at all and will make a clicking noise.

Hitachi hard disks are well-known for their factory firmware problems. Factory Firmware is stored on the disk platters in the so-called System (Service) Area of the hard disk. If one of the disk modules becomes corrupted the whole hard disk micro-operating system can't boot up, the drive cannot initialise correctly and thus stops working. If you attempt to boot up from such a Hitachi hard drive or read any data from it you would get "Disk boot failure. Insert system disk and press enter" or "Primary Master Hard Disk Fail" or "No operating system found" or "USB Device malfunctioned" error or "S.M.A.R.T. Capable But Command Failed" or some other BIOS error.

Currently there is no way to fix this type of firmware corruption at home. It is quite a complicated procedure and requires use of specialised expensive equipment and deep knowledge of hard drive design and data recovery technology.
