Maxtor Data Recovery
We have been performing Maxtor data recovery since our earliest days as a data recovery centre of excellence in 2003. Maxtor was famous in the early 2000s for the ease with which PCB problems could be resolved with simple swaps. This useful characteristic faded by around 2004 when unique firmware characteristics started to be stored on each PCB. Today, we continue to see excellent rates of recovery on this well known brand of hard drive using much more advanced techniques, although Maxtor hard disk drives are now Seagates in everything but name.
Maxtor data recovery
Maxtor Corporation was at one point the largest hard drive manufacturer in the world and was bought by Seagate in 2006 in a US$1.9 billion deal. Seagate chose to continue the Maxtor brand for the budget end of the market for both internal desktop and external drives. One give-away of the merger is that the drives inside Maxtor external drive enclosures have Seagate labels.
Maxtor themselves bought Quantum’s hard drive business in 2000. In the months following each of these major acquisitions, there were drives manufactured by one company, but badged with another. This makes it slightly more difficult to trace parts for hardware-damaged Maxtors from 2000 and 2006.
The success of Maxtor as a company means that there are many drives performing sturdy service in their name. It also means that a lot of drives that we see are Maxtors, albeit not as high a percentage as five years ago. Maxtors built after 2006 are likely to be Seagates and follow the failure characteristics of that manufacturer.
In common with other hard drive manufacturers, Maxtor (Seagate) warranty their drives but never the user data contained on them.
Maxtor Data Recovery Symptoms
Some of the symptoms suffered by Maxtor drives include:
- clicking
- musical scales (Maxtor sounds like a Stylophone)
- intermittent access
- computer won’t start
- hard drive not seen in BIOS
- no spinning on application of power
- computer starts eventually but the drive makes odd noises
- blue screen of death (for Windows users)
- PC reboots over and over again.
Tierra Data Recovery generates outstanding levels of recovered data and you only pay for recovery when you are sure your data has been recovered.
Collection and Analysis for Maxtor Data Recovery
Our collection and analysis of your hard drive allow quick diagnosis of your Maxtor hard drive. Charged at just £39 (£32.50 ex VAT) for a single Maxtor hard drive – this is deducted from the cost of recovery if the data is recoverable.
As with all our recovery work we provide an excellent Standard Service (work conducted during office hours) with the option of Emergency Service (work continues overnight and through week-ends). With Standard Service for Maxtor hard drives, the analysis is usually completed within 2 working days and means you will know the results quickly.
Our long history with Maxtor hard drives means that Tierra Data Recovery has the specialist knowledge and equipment to carry out your Maxtor data recovery.
