Hint: If you have any difficulties with the installation of the utility, please refer to the installation manual for UFS Explorer.Ĭonnect the drive after the program has been started. Instead of connecting the drive and running the software 'by default', it is recommended to deactivate disk polling first using one of the following methods: Such an operation does not imply any control over the connection timeout and may 'hang' if encountered a defective block or series of defects. The disk polling procedure is performed by the system to 'question' the drive whether it is ready and search for all supported partition tables, RAID metadata, and file systems.

With UFS Explorer, it is entirely possible to minimize the wear and tear of drives and perform the least 'intrusive' retrieval of the necessary data. In view of this, it is critically important to reduce the number of references to the faulty storage and the time spent on the extraction of valuable data. This approach is likely to result in the total breakdown of the storage medium with quite low chances to recover the needed information. Also, such a drive may be unstable or contain multiple bad sectors that cannot be read out in a normal way, making the process stumble every time and causing the rotational scoring of defects. If a hard disk drive has been affected by some sort of physical damage, every extra operation performed with the failing device may lead to the further degradation of its state.
