External drive recovery FAQ

Good to know

My external drive won’t show up — what now?
Avoid repeatedly unplugging and reconnecting it, which can worsen the issue. Bring it in for a free evaluation to find the real cause.
Is it the drive or just the cable/enclosure?
Sometimes the drive is fine and the USB bridge or enclosure failed. We check both during evaluation — and that is often a cheaper fix.
I dropped my portable drive and now it clicks.
Stop using it. Clicking after a drop points to mechanical damage; continued use risks permanent loss. Power off and bring it in.
Is the evaluation free?
Yes. We evaluate first and give honest odds and a quote before any paid work.
