While very good hard disk drives, IBM, like all other hard drives, do fail.  Sometimes these failures can be due to read / write head problems or service track corruption.  Usually this damage occurs due to improper cooling, allowing the IBM Drive to exceed temperatures above its recommended operating range.  Often when there are head/service issues, the IBM drive will either make a clicking noise, or display the wrong drive size at POST.  This is a sign that the heads are failed, or there are microcode issues, but it is still a completely recoverable condition in most circumstances.  If the IBM drive is clicking, it is important to turn it off immediately.  This can damage the platter media over time.

If you have a failing IBM hard drive, and would like more information about how we can help you, please call us at 1-800-388-1266.

Keep in mind that IBM Hard Drives are sensitive electronic instruments.  If not handled with care and properly cooled, it is possible that you may experience a failure.  IBM Hard Disks are sensitive to rapid temperature changes, heat, power surges, static electricity and physical shock.  San Diego Data Recovery estimates that most IBM Hard Disk Drives fail because of operating conditions, rather than defects in workmanship.

All storage electronic interfaces are supported for IBM Recovery. Some of the interfaces supported include: IBM Internal Drives, IBM External Drives, IBM Portable Drives, IBM Mobile Drives, IBM IDE Drives, IBM SATA Drives, IBM SATA II Drives, IBM SATA 2 Drives, IBM SATA III Drives, IBM SATA 3 Drives, IBM eSATA, IBM SAS Drives, IBM SCSI Drives, iSCSI, IBM ESDI Drives, IBM Fibre Channel Drives, IBM USB Drives, IBM Firewire Drives and IBM PCMCIA Drives.
