Hard Drive Data Recovery
Physical and Logical Recovery Explained
Physical recovery is required when a physical part of the hard drive is no longer functioning properly resulting in the inablity to read and write data. In Data Recovery, the failing part must be replaced in order to retrieve data. Physical recovery typically cost more than logical recovery.
Physical (Hardware) Failure Recovery
Logical Failure Recovery
Logical failure refers to programming or code that is necessary for certain functions of a hard drive to perform properly.If these functions fail, the hard drive also fails. Logical code cannot be repaired with standard data recovery software. Logical failure is very general and can indicate many types of problems.

Hard Drive Recovery
Explained
Logical data recovery is non-invasive. Physical hard drive data recovery is in essence, hard drive repair and is invasive. Micron level tolerances make hard drive repair very highly skilled work. Also, a Class 100 Clean Room is required to do invasive repairs. The Clean Room is a dust free environment where hard drives must be opened to prevent contamination of the media. The media (a.k.a. platters) contains the data and cannot be replaced, therefore it must be protected.
