SATA Primary Hard Disk Drive 0 failure

SATA stands for Serial ATA(Advanced Technology Attachment). It is a storage interface that offers standards for connecting a hard drive to the computer system. SATA interface follows two specifications SATA and SATA II. SATA offers a speed of 1.5 Gbps (or 150 MBps) and SATA II offers 3 Gbps(or 300 MBps). It follows serial signaling technology and hence offers fast data transfer. SATA hard drive provides various advantages over its counterparts including flexibility, less cable-bulk and hot swapping. On the other hand, these fast data accessing and transfer rates become indirectly responsible for hard drive failure. Hard drive may fail to be recognized by the system and hence Hard Drive Recovery becomes necessary.

While failure, SATA hard drives show different error messages together with noise, such as:
“SATA Primary Hard Disk Drive 0 Failure - Strike F1 to continue F2 to run the setup utility”
In certain scenarios, the nature of problem can be logical too. In such cases, system does not recognize the hard drive and hence we need to use Recovery Console or other similar solutions. If problem persists, backup all the data, format the drive and reinstall Windows. However if backup fails, repair and recover it through Data Recovery utilities.

If BIOS doesn’t recognize the hard drive, we need to check for the connecting cables, BIOS settings and Motherboard integrity first, before looking for any Hard Drive Recovery help. Physical hard drive failure results when the hard drive is made to operate under conditions like environmental heat (viz. direct sunlight), humidity, high pressure , condensation, fluctuating weather conditions etc.for prolonged duration. Such factors introduce defects in hard drives. More reasons include:
  • Read/write head crash
  • Electronic failure
  • Actuator arm damaged
  • Spindle motor crash
  • Platter misalignment

In typical physical hard drive failure, disk recoveryservice is the solution that can help extracting lost data. It includes experts’ supervision, repairing hard drives as an intermediate step and Clean Room environment. The failed hard drive is operated on component level, with the original data on disk platters remains intact. After knowing the cause, the appropriate procedure is applied to extract lost data.
Stellar Information Systems Limited offers the finest Hard Drive Recovery service through Class-100 Clean Rooms. Stellar’s experts carefully analyze the media for reason of failure and deploy suitable tools and techniques. Stellar has a wide range of solutions to retrieve lost data. It also offers logical Data Recovery software for Windows, Mac OS, Linux , UNIX and Novell Netware.
