Common causes of data loss around Flint

Much of Flint's housing is decades old, and many homes keep computers, boxes of old drives, or a home server in the basement. Heavy summer downpours and spring snowmelt can push water into basements, and even without a flood, basement humidity slowly corrodes drive connectors and circuit boards. Keep electronics on a shelf well off the floor, use a dehumidifier in finished basements, and never leave an external drive with your only copy of family photos sitting on concrete.

Michigan winters bring ice storms and heavy wet snow that bring down tree limbs and power lines, and summer thunderstorms can do the same. Repeated flickers and long outages are hard on desktops and NAS units that are writing data when the power drops. Use a UPS on any computer that holds important work, unplug equipment during strong lightning, and let cold drives warm to room temperature before powering them on after they have been in a car or unheated garage.

Data recovery in Flint — common questions

My drive was in a basement that flooded. Should I dry it out first?+

Do not dry it with heat or try to power it on. Water leaves minerals and residue on the electronics and platters, and powering a wet drive can short the board or scratch the platters. Keep it in a sealed bag, ideally still a little damp, confirm your case online, and ship it with the free prepaid label as soon as you can.
