But only five years ago (2013) a company called BlackBlaze finally performed the study with 25.000 hard drives that were running at the same time, all the time. With this study, they proved that there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re 3 different lifespans for the drives that include 1,5 years, 3 years and beyond 3 years.<\/p>\n<p>The results showed that 92% of the hard drives survive the first phase living more than 1,5 years, 90% survive the 3 years phase and 80% survive the fourth year&#8217;s phase. This is really promising but after that, the engineer Brian Beach calculated that after the sixth year, the possibilities of survival are lower than 50%.<\/p>\n<h3>Why do hard drives fail or die?<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andysowards.com\/blog\/2017\/recover-deleted-files-free\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-30174 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/Hard-drives-4.jpg\" alt=\"Hard drives 4\" width=\"768\" height=\"467\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 768px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 768\/467;\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>Recover Deleted Files for Free With EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard<\/em><\/p>\n<p>There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re some common reasons why a hard drive can fail, including (if it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s too early) manufacturing problems, but for expositive reasons, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve circled them in three groups:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Logical failure: when our computer is attacked by a virus or malware when there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re code errors or corrupted files, the software of a hard drive can be damaged resulting in the failure of the device. In these cases, the data still remains inside the hardware so it can be saved with a hard drive recovery.<\/li>\n<li>Physical damage: This is the worst case scenario because sometimes if the hardware is too damaged, data can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be recovered. Physical damage occurs when the computer gets overheated, shocked or in contact with water.<\/li>\n<li>Mechanical failure: unlike most parts on a computer, hard drives are mechanical pieces so they wear away with time. Even though this can bring the device to crash, the drive can be repaired or the data can be saved by doing a hard drive recovery with a tool like <strong>EaseUS <\/strong><strong>.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How can a Hard Drive be recovered using EaseUS ?<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-30172 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/Hard-drives-2-1024x410.png\" alt=\"Hard drives 2\" width=\"1024\" height=\"410\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/Hard-drives-2-1024x410.png 1024w, https:\/\/andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/Hard-drives-2-768x307.png 768w, https:\/\/andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/Hard-drives-2.png 1500w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/410;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>EaseUS<\/strong> software is an excellent tool that allows you to perform easily and without technical knowledge a hard drive recovery in a matter of minutes and as many times you want.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-30173 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/Hard-drives-1-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Hard drives 1\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/Hard-drives-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/Hard-drives-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/Hard-drives-1.jpg 1298w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/682;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This way, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be able to recover all the data from your damaged hard drive.
