What is a Hard Drive Crash?
There is a difference between an operating system crash and a hard drive crash. If your operating system crashes, whether you are using Windows, Linux or Mac, that is a Logical Failure. If the hard drive itself malfunctions, that is a Physical failure. Either way your data is not readily accessible but it is still there. Of course, you should have a backup plan and an image of your computer just in case but if you do not; there is still hope for your precious Gigabytes of data you may have stored on your computer through a data recovery solution.
