Common Causes of Tape Failure and Data Loss

While tape storage devices are reliable and durable, they are still susceptible to failures. Various factors, including physical damage, mechanical failure, human error, and software/hardware malfunctions, can lead to tape failure and data loss.

Physical Damage

Tapes can get damaged from mishandling or mishaps, like dropping them or exposing them to extreme temperatures or magnetic fields. Physical damage can cause data to become unreadable, leading to potential data loss.

Mechanical failure

Mechanical failures in tape drives or other components can prevent tapes from being read or written properly, resulting in data loss. Ageing equipment and wear and tear are common causes of mechanical failures in tape storage devices.

Human error

Accidental deletion or overwriting of data can occur due to human error, leading to data loss. Proper backup and disaster recovery plans are crucial to prevent such incidents.

Software/hardware malfunctions

Issues with software or hardware used for tape storage, such as outdated drivers or firmware, can make data inaccessible or corrupt, resulting in potential data loss. Regular maintenance and updates can help prevent such malfunctions.

We were thoroughly impressed by PITS Global Data Recovery Services since these guys could recover not only the half or majority, but all of our data that we sent them on Seagate NYTRO SSD. There was ... more than 1TB of data saved up on that device to which we had no access anymore. Despite difficulties, PITS recovered everything and transferred the data to a new HDD. Extraordinary you may ask? Not for PITS and their professionalism 💪🏻Absolutely brilliant

I believe this is the only company in the UK that has its own data recovery lab and doesn't send customers' devices elsewhere. I have been searching for such a company for a while, as it's hard for me ... to trust anyone after previous unsuccessful data recovery attempts. Besides having their own lab, PITS definitely boasts amazing customer service. They handled my complicated data loss situation with great efficiency, recovering every piece of lost data. During the final step, which I believe was called the verification session, we had the opportunity to check the recovered data and give our approval. It was a huge relief. Cheers for the brilliant service and the data recovery!

The place is next to the Nee Wimbledon Theatre and Polka Theatre. I was visiting PITS because of my issue with LaCie 1TB HDD that had a water damage and wasn’t working anymore. The device not working ... wasn’t that big of an issue but then I remembered that it had all my academic files in it. That’s when PITS came in clutch and recovered every file that was saved in there. I got all my ~700gb back with no missing data! Imagine the work they had done, which is pretty impressive. Well deserved 5 ⭐️
