A Hard Drive has many Moving parts and works much like how a record spins on a turntable and a needle reads the data. There are many ways a hard drive can be bad. It can be what is known as mechanically or logically defective. When the issue is mechanical, in this case, an internal part has gone bad. Usually, either the disk itself will not spin or the head with the needle that pivots to move across the disk either locks in place or fails. When a drive is logically bad, this means that the drive is mechanically sound, but has a logical error.

AlohaTechs has successfully recovered data for over 200 clients over the past 5 years. We are very upfront about Data Recovery jobs. We have had drives that we have received from clients that were mechanically bad. When this happens, options do exist for repair. Usually, we recommend you to a third-party (in the Mainland US) who can recover the data from even a mechanically failed drive. We have had several clients use this service. It is VERY expensive and we usually only recommend it if the data was extremely critical.
