BROOKLYN, NY – October 15, 2026 – WeRecoverData, a leading provider of professional data recovery services, successfully recovered 163 GB of personal data from a Western Digital 2 TB external hard drive that stopped mounting after a computer operating system update.

The customer, a Brooklyn resident, initially noticed that the Western Digital external hard drive was responding unusually slowly. Although the drive mounted once and allowed a few files to be copied, it later became inaccessible.

When the customer attempted to reconnect the device, the computer recognized it but could not display or open the stored files. An attempt to repair the hard drive using macOS Disk Utility First Aid failed. Afterward, the drive continued spinning but would not mount, even when connected to other computers.

Concerned about losing valuable personal information, the customer turned to WeRecoverData for professional data recovery assistance.

Despite the unsuccessful troubleshooting attempts, WeRecoverData successfully recovered 163 GB of data, providing a positive outcome for the Brooklyn customer.

The case demonstrates that an external hard drive that is no longer recognized or accessible through normal computer operations may still contain recoverable information.
