Using proprietary technology has enabled micronDR (S) Pte Ltd, the data recovery specialist, to break the ultimate barrier for disk-based data recoveries and achieve a high success rate of 98 percent. The success lies in a patentable technology, called Tecra Clean, that mirrors media coating technology. micronDR has deployed semi-robotics surface recovery technology that “rejuvenates” the disk surface, removing any debris or coating that would have been accumulated during subsequent head disk interfaces during the life of the hard drive before the catastrophic failure. Damaged disks are verified to be “flyable” using a laser-based optical scan or HDI tester. Disks primarily use two basic layers of lube, one of which is fixed while the other is mobile. Over the period of usage, sometimes there is a cumulation of the mobile layer of the lube due to the laws of physics operating on a spinning disk known as centrifugal force, or forces of wander wall, which continuously push the layer to the disk’s outer diameter (OD). This creates a drastic change in the flying profile of the heads between the OD and the inner diameter (ID), sometimes challenging the negative pressure air bearing pads design.
