Packing Hints from S&R department

Our many years experience has shown us, that so many of failed hard drive owners have their own perception of packaging of their failed medium.

 

 

The most common packaging materials used to send a package are:

  • plastic or zip bags instead of anti-static plastic shells
  • crumpled paper for a cushion, instead of foam or bubble wrap
  • bubbled envelopes for a small laptop type drives, instead of boxes, etc.

The truth is that the material does not make much difference as long as the failed medium packed securely/firmly. To ship the drive you can improvise with the packing material, just follow the common sense, and we, here at DataBE are ready to receive your package and process it instantaneously for a recovery process. Safe and sound!

How Do I Ship My Hard Drive

Before posting your package for shipping out, you need to place the online data recovery order, print out its hard copy with shipping instructions on it and carefully follow it step-by-step.

It is highly important that the already failed hard drive is boxed properly to prevent any additional damages during delivery. The choice of the carrier company is entirely yours, but we do recommend those which provide the tracing number to track the package delivery status.

You may also follow the common packaging preps to ship a failed hard drive as well as any other failed data storages:

  • To ship a BARE hard drive: Remove and retain all brackets, mounting screws and interface adapters unless otherwise instructed.
  • To ship the WHOLE unit (external enclosure, laptop, etc.) include all needed accessories and software (like power adapters, cables, drivers, controllers, etc.)
  • Place the drive inside a plastic bag (preferable anti-static material or wrap in aluminum foil). Suspend the hard drive in the center of a sturdy box of foam-rubber or bubble wrap around all sides. Use crumpled paper as cushioning material to fill any empty spaces in shipping box.
  • We recommend to ship hard drives via air service to minimize handling, such as UPS Express or UPS Expedited services, although the choice of the shipper is yours.
  • Include a printed copy of your order in the package along with your failed hard drive and ship out.

 

We accept any carrier companies, but advise you to use a shipping method with ability to trace shipment. We accept Saturday Delivery shipments until 4pm EST.

 

 

 


From Benjamin L. Malibu, CA USA: Fujitsu MHT2040AH laptop - Events:
The computer was on the ground and a person accidentally kicked the side of the computer (exactly where the hard drive is located).
Recovery Attempts (3 months ago):
1.) Used an enclosure to try to extract data. Failed.
2.) Tried to bypass the OS by booting Linux from a CD. Failed.
3.) Sent it to a hard drive specialist's company. They couldn't do it for under $500, so I got it back. Failed.
However, the actual hard drive was never manually tampered with.

THANK YOU! Got it all back, looks perfect...


From Jan O. M. Mashburn Construction, L.P. Roopville, GA USA: Seagate ST3400620AS Barracuda 7200.10 SATA 400 Gb - Recognized by BIOS - yes Spinning Sound - yes I did send this to a local guy to try to restore data. He was unsuccessful.

I think I have everything I needed. I will recommend your services any time I have the opportunity. You have made me very happy. Thanks. Jan M.


From Gilbert T. Tampa, FL USA: Hitachi HTS726060M9AT00 laptop - Cause of failure - Water spilled on the laptop while running. Shorted the HDD circuitry & motor. Drive dose not power-on or spin.

Thanks for your hard work and especially the option of the disc re-image. That could prove to be the life saver.
