Unionsine Hard Drive Data Recovery Case Study: How We Restored 1TB of Critical Video Footage

When Sophia Lasso contacted us, she was devastated. Her Unionsine 1TB external hard drive contained her entire video collection, including four podcast episodes that she urgently needed. A previous attempt by a competitor data recovery company had failed. To make matters worse, she was told her drive was “fake” and impossible to recover.

At PITS Data Recovery, we approach every case with one principle: no drive is dismissed until we apply our highest standards and resources to it.

The Truth About Unionsine Hard Drives

One common misconception is that Unionsine manufactures hard drives. In reality, Unionsine only makes external enclosures, similar to brands like LaCie. Inside these enclosures, you will typically find hard drives made by major manufacturers such as Seagate or Western Digital.

In Sophia’s case, once we carefully inspected the enclosure, we found a Seagate 1TB 2.5″ Rosewood drive inside, a particularly delicate and challenging model for data recovery.

The Challenge: Failed Attempt and Contamination

Before reaching us, Sophia’s drive had already been opened by a competitor. Unfortunately, their attempt not only failed but also left the drive at risk of further contamination.

Rosewood drives are notoriously sensitive. With a single platter and two magnetic surfaces, any minor contamination or mishandling can make recovery significantly more complex.

Our Recovery Process

Our engineers applied a systematic cleanroom recovery process:

  1. Surface Cleaning – Using mild, specialized reagents, we carefully cleaned the magnetic surfaces and ensured they were completely free of debris or contaminants.
  2. Head Replacement – We installed a brand-new head assembly, sourced specifically for this Seagate Rosewood model.
  3. Complete Imaging – With the new heads, we successfully read the entire drive sector by sector, avoiding further strain on the sensitive mechanism.
  4. Data Extraction – We recovered all critical files Sophia needed, including her podcast episodes and video footage.
Severely scratched platter, a critical issue that can lead to permanent data loss in a hard drive.

Don't Let Data Loss Ruin Your Business

Minimize business disruption. We retrieve lost data fast, so you can focus on what matters.

Results: 100% Recovery

Against all odds, we were able to recover 100% of the essential data that Sophia had been told was lost forever.

This case stands out as one of the most delicate Seagate data recovery projects we have completed. It highlights the difference between standard attempts and the unlimited resources, expertise, and precision that our team brings to each recovery.

Why Success Rates Matter in Data Recovery

Not all data recovery companies are the same. “One-man show” shops or flat-rate providers often lack the cleanroom facilities, spare parts inventory, and highly trained engineers required for advanced cases.

At PITS Data Recovery, our success rate is built on:

  • High-quality cleanroom standards
  • Unlimited use of spare parts and donor drives
  • Senior engineering expertise with sensitive models like Seagate Rosewood
  • A commitment to recover what others say is impossible

Final Thoughts

Sophia’s story is proof that a failed attempt by a competitor does not mean your data is gone forever. If you’ve been told your drive is unrecoverable, or even “fake”, don’t lose hope. With the right technology and expertise, recovery is still possible.
