If a device develops physical problem, exercise extreme caution. If any of the above symptoms exist, consider

In case of a limited damage (one or two bad spots on the media)

• Software recovery with ZAR takes longer than usual but still completes.
• The recovery rate drop caused by limited physical damage is insignificant.

In case of a massive damage,

• If the device is not accessible at all (circuitry failure), no software can even attempt the recovery. Physical intervention is required.
• Even if the device seems accessible, software recovery run  the will take excessive time to complete, making the attempt impractical. On top of that, the recovery run puts further stress on the device. This may be undesirable.

In case of the massive damage, there is no point in attempting the do-it-yourself type data recovery at home. There is little you can do to repair a physically damaged device without the special equipment. If you have a physically failed storage device, we have a discount available for a DriveSavers recovery service. DriveSavers are quite good with physically damaged devices and we recommend you contact them if need arises.
