Summary: This post is dedicated to Seagate Hard Drive Data Recovery, requested by our readers, where we have discussed how you can recover data from a Seagate hard drive after a data disaster. The post also discusses about DIY data recovery using Stellar Data Recovery software. Get the software now!

How to Recover Data From Seagate Hard Drive

Seagate drives are popular among PC users, enthusiasts, and laptop manufacturers. They are affordable, easily available, and known to be reliable.

However, a recent hard drive reliability report by Backblaze—a cloud backup provider—revealed that despite being a preferred choice at Backblaze too, Seagate hard drives were among the drives with highest failure rates.

Since Seagate drives are widely used, and stats indicate a high failure rate, here’s what you can do in case you’ve lost data from Seagate hard drive.

  • Conclusion

Possible Causes of Data Loss From Seagate Hard Drives

There may be several reasons, which can lead to data loss from a Seagate hard drive or any other storage media. Mainly they are divided into three categories as follows:

1. Logical Failure

  • Virus or Malware attack.
  • Human error.
  • Corrupt files on hard drive.
  • Increase in number of bad sectors on the hard drive.
  • A sudden power surge or power failure.

2. Physical Damage

  • Drop (shock damage).
  • Overheating.
  • Water damage.
  • Improper handling.

3. Mechanical Failure

When you start hearing strange noises from a hard disk such as clicking, grinding or screeching under normal usage, it means that there is a mechanical failure. Due to mechanical issues in the drive, you may face problems similar to logical failures such as frequent system freezing and OS crash.

Seagate Hard Drive Recovery

While physical damage and mechanical failure issues need a professional data recovery service, data loss due to logical faults in a Seagate hard drive can be solved with the help of a professional data recovery software such as Stellar Data Recovery Professional for Windows from the ease of your home or office.

This software comes with advanced data recovery features that make it a reliable and secure choice for Seagate hard drive recovery. Moreover, it comes from the house of Stellar Data Recovery, a data care product and services company that’s recovering data since 1993 and trusted by more than 2 million users.

Seagate Hard Drive Recovery by Using Steller Data Recovery Professional

Stellar Data Recovery Professional can help recover data from any Seagate hard drive—no matter if it’s corrupt or formatted. With its intuitive and user-friendly interface, the software also lets you recover data from deleted or missing drive partitions in just a few simple clicks.

Before your Proceed!

  1. Immediately stop using your Seagate hard disk to avoid overwriting as it can permanently erase the lost data, beyond recovery.
  2. Make sure to use a different storage device to store the recovered data. Never save recovered data on the same hard drive.
  3. Use an HDD enclosure or SATA to USB 2.0/3.0 converter to connect internal Seagate hard disk with another PC via USB port for data recovery.

Follow the steps to safely recover data from a logically damaged or failed Seagate hard drive.

  • Download and install Stellar Data Recovery Professional software for Windows.
Free download
  • Connect your external Seagate drive to your PC via the USB port. For the internal hard drive, remove it from your PC or laptop and then insert it into a HDD enclosure. Connect it to a different PC where the Stellar Data Recovery software is installed, and if prompted to ‘Format hard Drive’ option box, click ‘No’.
  • Launch the Stellar Data Recovery Professional for Windows software.
  • Check ‘All Data’ checkbox to select and recover all types of files, folders and other deleted data from the hard drive.
  • Click ‘Next’ button. Select the Seagate Hard drive from the Select Location window and turn on the ‘Deep Scan’ toggle that appears at the bottom-left corner.

NOTE: The Deep Scan function takes more time but recovers most data and is highly effective as it thoroughly searches for the deleted data deep inside each sector on the hard drive based on file signatures, which also facilitates RAW data recovery.

  • If you want to recover drive data from hard drive’s deleted partition or unallocated partition, select ‘Can’t Find Drive’ under Other Locations and click the ‘Scan’ button.
  • On the next screen, select your Seagate hard drive and click ‘Search’. All deleted partitions will be listed under the ‘Searching Partition’ box.
  • Select the hard drive partition and click ‘Scan’ to start scanning. If nothing is found, click on ‘Click Here’ link at the bottom to start ‘Deep Scan.’
  • In the left Tree View pane, you can see all your recovered folders and files. Click on the ‘File Type’ tab to easily recover the required data. You can also click on a file to preview it before you begin recovery.
  • Next, check checkboxes of the files and folders you want to recover and then, click ‘Recover’ button.
  • Click ‘Browse’ button to select the location where you want to save the recovered data. Make sure not to select the same drive. Finally, click ‘Start Saving’ button.

The selected recovered files and folders from the hard drive are saved at the desired location.

Conclusion

Backup, Backup, Backup! Start creating backups on either cloud or external HDD or SSD from today. A regular backup will keep your data safe and help you resume your work within a few minutes or hours after any data disaster.

However, you can always rely on a professional data recovery tool such as the Stellar Data Recovery Professional any time and from anywhere in the world to recover your lost data from any type of Windows or macOS storage media.

    How about for the Seagate Personal Cloud srn21c external drive. It stopped working and Seagate support did not help. I do not want to spend thousands of dollars to try and recover the data. What are my options? Satish Kumar

      Hi Satish, our software doesn’t work on a cloud. So you should contact your hard drive vendors [Seagate]. But if you want to recover data from a local machine, physical hard drive, or any other storage drive then you can try stellar data recovery. It will help you to recover data efficiently at a cheap cost. Thanks

    My 3 TB Seegate was dead. So I removed the lower controller which is totally dead, and salvaged the hard drive and connected it via ATA to my PC. It shows as a drive but it says it is encrypted, how can I recover the data? Your help would be appreciated.

      Hi Wolfgang, if your data is encrypted, then it won’t be decrypted by Stellar Data Recovery. But you can recover your lost data efficiently. Here you can visit the hard drive vendors forum and ask your query. They will help you decrypt your data. Thanks.

      In the ‘Disk Management’ tool, right-click on the recognized ‘unallocated’ ‘RAW’, or NTFS’ drive partition and choose ‘Change Drive Letter and Paths..’ and assign a drive letter. Then open ‘File Explorer’ and try to access the drive volume.
      If you can’t access the drive volume or see a prompt to format the drive, click ‘Cancel’.
      Install Stellar Data Recovery software and run a Deep Scan on the partition.
      Save the recovered data to a different drive and then format the volume via the ‘Disk Management’ tool. This will fix the drive volume and make it usable. You can then transfer the recovered data back to your 12TB/5TB drive and use it normally. Let us know if this helps.
