Data Recovery from Power Surge-Damaged Toshiba Drive Restores Database in Sacramento


Posted May 23, 2025 by News-PR

After a power surge in Sacramento, a small business’s 1TB Toshiba drive failed, putting 200GB of critical database files at risk. WeRecoverData repaired the damaged drive and successfully recovered all data, saving the business from major loss.

 
SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA — In a case that combined high-stakes database loss with the eerie sound of grinding metal, WeRecoverData, the world’s leading data recovery company, swooped in to rescue a small business’s most vital digital assets—right in the heart of California’s capital.

The story begins with a sudden power outage in Sacramento, the kind that hits without warning and leaves more than lights flickering. After power was restored, one small business discovered something far worse than a tripped breaker—their 1 TB Toshiba DT01ACA100 database drive had gone silent. Silent to the BIOS, that is. Internally, it was making the dreaded clicking and grinding noises that signal a serious mechanical failure.

The drive, which had been running critical files on Windows Server, contained 200 GB of essential business data—including database files that supported daily operations, possibly financial records, client info, or internal systems. Attempting a fix, the client plugged the drive into another server. Still no luck. The BIOS wouldn’t recognize the device, and the strange sounds persisted.

With panic setting in, they turned to the pros: WeRecoverData.

Designated with “medium” urgency, the case was treated with the precision of a high-stakes rescue. Upon arrival, the drive was carefully transferred into WeRecoverData’s cleanroom environment. The engineers, well-versed in the ominous language of clicking hard drives, immediately diagnosed mechanical failure likely caused by the power incident.

The team performed a component-level repair, temporarily reviving the drive just long enough to extract its valuable contents using specialized imaging technology. They bypassed bad sectors, stabilized the internal damage, and methodically rebuilt the database files bit by bit.

The outcome? A 100% successful data recovery. All of the business’s mission-critical database files were restored, saving not just data—but time, operations, and possibly thousands in potential losses.

“This is why we do what we do,” said a spokesperson for WeRecoverData. “We love turning clicks of doom into second chances. When others give up, we dig deeper—literally.”

Another win, another recovery, and another reminder that when your hard drive starts clicking, WeRecoverData is already listening.
