I've built quite a few PCs over the last 20 years and had relatively few problems with HDDs. I've had several instances lately where HDDs that I've tried to access after periods of disuse have come up as not containing a recognised file system. In some cases I've managed to recover data from them using Testdisk.
They've all been SATA disks (3.5 and 2.5) from different manufacturers and used with a number of Windoze operating systems. Obviously over the years the data density has increased.... has this made them more 'fragile?'
Any thoughts?
