Data stored in a computer or any other storage medium may include files, folders, office documents, movies, photos, audio and video files, RAW image files, etc. All these data can be stored in various data storage mediums like hard drives, external hard disks, memory cards, pen drives, USB storage devices, flash memory cards, SD cards, etc. Data present in all these storage mediums are prone to corruption or deletion. There are numerous reasons that lead to deletion of data or corruption of these storage mediums. Some of the most prominent and common reasons for loss of data from data storage mediums are as follows
- Accidental deletion: Accidentally deleting the data is one of the most common reasons, which leads to data loss. We may deleted the data present in the computer accidentally or even accidentally empty recycle bin and then realize that the data was important to us.
- Accidentally formatting drives: Formatting a hard drive, external USB drive, pen drive, etc, results in deletion of data completely. While formatting the hard drive, we may accidentally format a different partition resulting in loss of precious data.
- Corruption: When hard disks or USB drives get corrupt, data present in them would become inaccessible resulting in loss of data. Corruption may be caused due to corrupt partition table or due to virus / malware attack.
- Power surge: When the computer shuts down abruptly due to sudden power failure, the hard disk may get corrupted or damaged resulting in loss of data.
