Asus Data Recovery – Resolving Slow Read/Write Speeds Caused by Bad Sectors

At Cardiff Data Recovery, we are Wales’s No.1 specialists in Asus data recovery, with over 25 years of experience recovering files from slow, unresponsive, and failing hard drives in Asus laptops. If your device is taking hours to open or copy even small files — like a Word document taking six hours — it’s a key indicator of increasing bad sectors and possible imminent drive failure.

If addressed early, data can often be fully recovered before the drive becomes unreadable. Our lab uses advanced imaging and recovery techniques to extract your files safely from degrading drives, even those that are on the verge of complete failure.

⚠️ Symptoms of Bad Sector Damage in Asus Laptops

  • File transfers take an unusually long time (e.g., hours for small files)
  • The laptop frequently freezes or becomes unresponsive
  • “CRC errors” or “delayed write failure” messages
  • Drive makes occasional ticking or buzzing noises
  • Applications hang during basic tasks
  • Windows takes much longer to boot or does not boot at all
  • Windows or antivirus reports disk errors

These are typical signs of sector degradation, where parts of the drive can no longer reliably store or retrieve data.

🛠️ How We Recover Data from Failing Asus Drives – Step-by-Step Process

1. Initial Diagnosis and Imaging Preparation

  • The laptop’s hard drive or SSD is carefully removed in a static-safe lab environment
  • We assess the condition of the disk using SMART analysis and sector-by-sector surface tests
  • If the drive is still partially readable, we begin immediate low-level imaging to preserve as much data as possible before further deterioration

We do not perform recovery directly on the original drive. All work is done on a clone to prevent further damage.

2. Advanced Imaging with Bad Sector Management

  • Using specialised data recovery hardware, we perform a slow-read and adaptive reattempt process that bypasses unreadable sectors and prioritises healthy data regions
  • Imaging may take several hours or days depending on the extent of the damage
  • ECC (Error Correction Code) routines are used to stabilise read attempts and extract usable data from weak sectors

This technique is far superior to any standard data recovery software and is specifically designed for physically degrading drives.

3. File System Repair and Logical Data Extraction

  • Once a disk image is obtained, we repair the corrupted file system structures (e.g., NTFS, FAT32, exFAT) to access directory listings
  • If the file system is heavily damaged, we perform raw file carving using signature-based extraction to recover documents, images, and user files
  • Recovered data is cross-checked and verified for integrity

4. Safe Delivery of Recovered Files

  • Extracted files are copied to a new external drive in original folder structures where possible
  • We provide a full recovery report outlining:
    • Data recovered
    • Files that could not be recovered (if applicable)
    • Condition of original media
