PITS Global Data Recovery Services specializes in professional data recovery for helium-filled hard drives. These drives are relatively new and use helium gas to reduce air resistance, allowing for higher storage capacity and lower power consumption. However, recovering data from these drives requires specialized equipment and expertise.

Our data recovery services are designed to help businesses and individuals recover lost data from helium hard drives. We have the expertise and equipment to recover data from these drives and offer various recovery services to meet our client’s needs.
Understanding Helium Hard Drives
A helium hard drive is a hard disk drive that uses helium gas to reduce air resistance inside the drive. Helium’s lower density compared to air allows the drive to spin faster, generate less heat, and offer higher storage capacity.
Helium hard drives are hermetically sealed to prevent gas leakage, with internal components designed to operate in a low-pressure environment. The use of helium gas in hard drives is a relatively new technology. It has been implemented by manufacturers such as Western Digital and Hitachi Global Storage Technologies to increase the efficiency and capacity of their hard drives.
Despite their advantages, these storage devices are still susceptible to failures and data loss.
Benefits of Our Helium Drive Recovery
A key feature of our data recovery services is our Class 10 Cleanroom. This cleanroom is specially designed to protect hard drives from environmental contaminants that can cause further damage to the drive. Our cleanrooms are equipped with the latest technology and maintained to the highest standards to protect hard drives during data recovery.
Engineers at PITS use specialized methods to retrieve the data from the drive’s disks. Helium hard drives have a higher storage capacity than traditional hard drives, making locating and recovering data more challenging. However, our experienced technicians have the expertise and equipment required to successfully retrieve data from these specialized drives.
We also understand that data loss can be a stressful and challenging experience for our clients. Therefore, we offer a range of services to help our clients recover. Our team of technicians is available to provide all the details about the recovery case throughout the process.
Our Data Recovery Process for Helium Drives
Our data recovery process for these specialized drives is designed to retrieve lost data while minimizing further damage to the drive’s internal components. The first step in our data recovery process is to evaluate the extent of the damage to the helium drive. We examine the drive’s physical components and perform a series of tests to determine the cause of data loss and the likelihood of successful data recovery. We also provide our clients with a free evaluation service to determine the cost and time required for data recovery.
Our clean room is designed to maintain a controlled environment free from dust, pollutants, and other contaminants. Helium hard drives are extremely sensitive to environmental contaminants, which can cause further damage to the drive’s internal components. Therefore, we perform all data recovery procedures in our Class 10 clean room.
Helium hard drives have a higher storage capacity than traditional hard drives, which can make data recovery more challenging. However, our experienced technicians have the expertise and equipment required to locate and retrieve lost data.
Once we have accessed the internal components of the drive, we use specialized techniques to retrieve the lost data from the hard drive’s disks. After retrieving the lost data, we perform a series of quality control tests to ensure the data is accurate and complete. We also provide our clients with a detailed report that outlines the cause of data loss, the steps we took to recover the lost data, and recommendations for preventing future data loss.
Once we have successfully recovered your data, we will arrange a secure remote session for you. This allows you to:
- Confirm the Recovery: Ensure that all your important files have been successfully restored.
- Convenient Verification: Check your data from the comfort of your own home or office.
- Secure and Private: Our remote session is fully secure, ensuring your privacy throughout the process.
By completing the recovery process, we schedule a verification session with our client. This way, he can review the recovered files individually and approve them. When all the data is approved, we deliver it to our client. Our data recovery process for helium hard drives is designed to retrieve lost data while minimizing further damage to the drive’s internal components. You can start your data recovery process for a helium drive today by filling out the form. Another way to contact us is to call us directly at 855.967.3984. Our team will gladly help you recover valuable data from your helium drive.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a helium hard drive?
A helium hard drive is a type of hard disk drive that uses helium in its sealed compartment instead of air. Helium’s lower density than air allows the platters to spin with less drag, leading to lower power consumption, less heat, and higher storage capacities.
Can data be recovered from a failed helium hard drive?
Yes, data can often be recovered from a failed helium hard drive. The specific method used depends on the nature of the failure, whether it’s a logical (software-related) issue or a physical (hardware-related) issue.
How is data recovery from a helium hard drive different from a regular hard drive?
The fundamental principles of data recovery remain the same. However, due to the sealed, helium-filled environment, specialized equipment and techniques may be needed for physical repairs or recovery. These drives also tend to have higher data density, which might complicate data recovery processes.
What are the common reasons for helium hard drive failure?
While helium hard drives have a generally higher reliability than traditional air-filled hard drives, they can still fail due to reasons such as mechanical issues, firmware corruption, electrical failure, or data corruption.
How can I avoid data loss on a helium hard drive?
Regular backups are the best way to avoid data loss. In addition, keeping your system clean, properly shutting down your computer, and protecting your system from power surges can help prevent drive failures.
How long does it take to recover data from a helium hard drive?
The time it takes to recover data from a helium hard drive depends on the extent of the damage and the amount of data to be recovered. It can take anywhere from a few hours for simple recoveries to several days or even weeks for more complex cases.
Is data recovery from a helium hard drive expensive?
The cost of data recovery from a helium hard drive depends on the nature of the failure and the complexity of the recovery process. It’s generally more expensive than recovery from a standard air-filled drive due to the specialized equipment and expertise required.
How successful is data recovery from helium hard drives?
Success rates for data recovery from helium hard drives are generally high, especially when the recovery is handled by professionals. However, it’s important to note that not all data can be recovered in all situations. The likelihood of successful recovery decreases if the drive has been tampered with or damaged further after the initial failure.
What should I do if my helium hard drive fails?
If your helium hard drive fails, stop using it immediately to prevent further damage. If the data is important, contact a professional data recovery service. Attempting to recover the data yourself, especially if you’re not sure what you’re doing, can lead to permanent data loss.
